Split clog into lib and bin #44

Closed cburgdorf closed 9 years ago

cburgdorf commented 9 years ago

It's currently a bit unfortunate that clog's core functionality isn't available as a lib. If I want to write another app that wants to use clog I would have to find a way to bundle the binary with my app and call it as another process. But that doesn't seem to be easily supported by cargo yet.

Maybe we could just split it into lib and bin but keep it in one repository as mentioned here

I think this is a really great idea and should be easy to do. I'm in vacation this week, and have limited access to computers but I can split them out pretty easy once I get back in a few days. And I like the idea of keeping them in one repo.

The splitting should be super straight forward, the docs may take a day or two to write but I think good docs are a must.

I'm back home now and will begin putting this together. I'll put in a PR soon to discuss how it turns out.

45 is in - Docs need to be written, and there are areas that could be refined and re-arranged but it works :)
