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.
