loglady - Crazy Simple Logging in Scala

"My log has something to tell you. Can you hear it?"

loglady is a thin wrapper around slf4j, providing a simple API similar to Python's logging module.

Using slf4j, you're free to choose whatever logging implementation suits your application or taste, but Logback seems like a good default.

The goal of the project is to be very simple, while adding as little overhead as possible.

Influences include logula and slf4s.

Main Features

• Thin slf4j wrapper
• Simple API
• No configuration
• Supports Scala 2.9.1, 2.9.2 and 2.10.0

Usage Example

import org.eintr.loglady.Logging

class MyClass extends Logging {
  log.info("Hello, Log Lady")

  log.warn("We all float (%.4f) down here", 3.141592)
  
  log.debug("Some random stuff: %d %s %x", 42, List(0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5), -559038737)
  
  log.error("Formatted date: %1$tm %1$te,%1$tY", new java.util.Date)

  try {
    throw new Exception("Oops!")
  } catch {
    case exc: Exception => {
      log.error(exc, "Something bad happened")
    }
  }
}

To get logging output, you also need a concrete logging library with slf4j. Simply adding logback-classic as a dependency to your project is a simple way. See the logback website for more information.
