Thank you for maintaining such a great crate!
I recently made the switch from anyhow to rootcause as well! The experience has been really great so far, but I did run into one specific challenge: the default log format is a bit too heavy to send directly in an API response (for those cases where I need to do that).
I wish this use case were a bit more "out-of-the-box" in rootcause, as I imagine I'm not the only one needing to serve errors over an API. To get around it, I implemented a custom ReportFormatter to separate internal log verbosity from user-facing responses.
I started by installing the hook:
Hooks::new()
.report_formatter(CompactErrorFormatter)
.install()
.context("Failed to install rootcause hooks")?;
The implementation essentially checks the report_formatting_function: when it's Display, it uses a compact format for the API, while leaving the Debug output as-is for internal logging:
It works well, but it would be awesome if the library had a built-in way to toggle between "internal" and "external" formatting more easily.
