An opinionated starting point for rust projects such as

• systemd services
• command line tools
• client programs
• server programs
• libraries and daemons

The program will log in 2 places by default:

• stdout
• syslog

There is a simple -v --verbose flag that can be toggled on/off to increase and decrease the level of the logs.

Enabling verbose mode will simply add Trace and Debug levels to the default configuration.

We prefer flags over environmental variables for runtime configuration.

Flags can be added to the main.rs file following the official clap examples

I use clion to develop rust. I use a few features:

This will automatically "fix" my use statements in the 2021 edition of Rust.

Editor > General > Auto Import > Rust
 [X] Import out-of-scope items on completion.

This will automatically rustfmt my code when I save.

Languages and Frameworks > Rust > Rustfmt
 [X] Run rustfmt on save
