Custom Logger Package

The Custom Logger package provides a flexible logging solution for Go applications, allowing users to configure log file, log level, and log format through environment variables.

Installation

To use the Custom Logger package in your Go project, you can install it using the following command:

go get github.com/akshaymemane/logger

Usage

Import the logger package in your Go code:

import "github.com/akshaymemane/logger"

Then, create a new instance of the logger using the New() function:

logger := logger.New()

You can then use the logger to log messages at different log levels:

logger.Debug("This is a debug message")
logger.Info("This is an info message")
logger.Warning("This is a warning message")
logger.Error("This is an error message")

Configuration

The Custom Logger can be configured using the following environment variables:

• LOG_FILE: Specifies the path to the log file. Defaults to logfile.log if not set.
• LOG_LEVEL: Specifies the log level. Valid values are debug, info, warning, error, and all. Defaults to all.
• LOG_FORMAT: Specifies the log format using pipe-separated format specifiers. Available specifiers are date, time, microseconds, longfile, shortfile, utc, and stdflags. Defaults to date|time|shortfile.

Example .env file:

LOG_FILE=application.log
LOG_LEVEL=info
LOG_FORMAT=date|time|shortfile

Log Levels

The Custom Logger supports the following log levels:

• DebugLevel: Used for debugging information.
• InfoLevel: Used for informational messages.
• WarningLevel: Used for warning messages.
• ErrorLevel: Used for error messages.
• AllLevel: Log messages of all levels.

Log Format

The log format determines how log entries are formatted. You can specify the log format using pipe-separated format specifiers. Available specifiers include date, time, microseconds, longfile, shortfile, utc, and stdflags.
