Text-console-sink

Create a formatted console sink from a TextFormatter. This sink is the direct sync constructor for human-readable console output with explicit text formatting rules.

Interface

pub fn text_console_sink(formatter : TextFormatter) -> FormattedConsoleSink {

input

• formatter : TextFormatter - Text formatter used to render each record.

output

• FormattedConsoleSink - Console sink that renders through the supplied formatter.

Explanation

Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors

• This helper adapts a TextFormatter into a console sink.
• It is the direct sync sink counterpart to config-driven text_console(...) presets.
• Use it when code-side formatter composition is preferable to config-driven assembly.

How to Use

Here are some specific examples provided.

When Need Explicit Text Formatting On The Console

When console output should use a custom separator or template:

let logger = Logger::new(
  text_console_sink(text_formatter(show_timestamp=false, separator=" | ")),
  target="pretty",
)

In this example, the sink renders through the supplied formatter.

Error Case

e.g.:

• If structured JSON output is required, use json_console_sink() instead.

• If formatting should be data-driven rather than code-driven, prefer config or presets APIs.

Notes

1. This is the most direct sync sink constructor for custom text output.

2. formatted_console_sink(...) is the lower-level variant when the formatter input is already a RecordFormatter.
