# Startup Messages

> Customize startup messages in Logixlysia

Control how your application announces its startup with Logixlysia's flexible startup message system.

## Basic Usage

```ts theme={null}
logixlysia({
  config: {
    showStartupMessage: true,
    startupMessageFormat: 'simple' // or 'banner'
  }
})
```

## Message Formats

### Simple Format

A clean, minimal startup message:

```
🦊 Logixlysia is running on http://localhost:3000
```

### Banner Format

A beautiful ASCII art banner (default):

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                                 │
│                 Elysia v1.4.19                  │
│                                                 │
│  🦊 Elysia is running at http://localhost:3001  │
│                                                 │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

## Configuration

| Option                 | Type                   | Description                         | Default    |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ---------- |
| `showStartupMessage`   | `boolean`              | Whether to show the startup message | `true`     |
| `startupMessageFormat` | `'simple' \| 'banner'` | The format of the startup message   | `'banner'` |

## Best Practices

* Use `'banner'` format in development for better visibility
* Use `'simple'` format in production for cleaner logs
* Consider disabling startup messages in production if not needed
