prtty

prtty

A small go library for logging things with color.

Basics

There are five different loggers includeded out of the box:

• Default (white)
• Info (cyan)
• Warn (yellow)
• Success (green)
• Error (red)

All the included loggers print to os.Stdout, except for Error, which prints to os.Stderr.

You can also create custom loggers with prtty.NewLogger.

The Logger type has most of the same methods as the builtin log package. In fact, it is just a lightweight wrapper around it.

prtty respects the flags set with log.SetFlags.

Usage

package main

import (
	"github.com/albrow/prtty"
)

func main() {
	// This will print to the terminal in cyan
	prtty.Info.Println("--> starting")

	// This will print in white
	prtty.Default.Println("    doing one thing...")
	prtty.Default.Println("    doing another thing...")

	// This will print in red, and just like log.Fatal, will cause the program
	// to exit with a return code of 1.
	prtty.Error.Fatal("ERROR: something went wrong :(")
}

Depending on your terminal color settings, the above program would produce output like this:
