logex

logex

[TO BE ARCHIVED]

an enhancement for logrus. logex attaches the context caller info to the logging output.

Since v1.6.0, logex remove the adapters to zap and zerolog.

The only shipped adapter is logrus.

The original codes moved to ./_excluded/.

The primary reason is for reducing the target binary size. Those adapters imports the more third-party codes and can't be optimized due its refers are in our adapters.

So the only way to avoid importing the unnecessary libs is, remove them from our logex framework and allow you adapt them back again when you really want them.

Since v1.5.56, logex moved to Go Modules 1.17 and higher, the lower versions can't be supported.

Since v1.2.0, logex allows switching the logging backends (such as logrus, zap, ...) transparently.

Features

• Pre-setup logging backends with clickable caller info: logrus or zap
• Generic logging interface to cover the various logging backends via: log.Logger, build.New(config)
  • allow registering custom logging backend by build.RegisterBuilder(backendName, log.BuilderFunc) `.

Usages

Build logger transparently

We provide the ability to switch logging backends transparently now.

The supported backends currently are: logrus, zag, zerolog.

A sample config file looks like:

app:

  # runmode: devel  # devel, prod

  logger:
    # The field 'level' will be reset to "debug" while the app is started up within a debugger
    # available values are:
    #   "disable"/"off", "panic", "fatal", "error", "warn", "info", "debug", "trace"
    level:  info
    format: text                  # text, json, logfmt, ...
    backend: sugar                # zap, sugar(sugared-zap) or logrus, zerolog
    target: file                  # console, file
    directory: /var/log/$APPNAME

Load it to Config structure:

import "github.com/hedzr/log"
var config *log.LoggerConfig = log.NewLoggerConfig()
// ...

And build the backend:

import "github.com/hedzr/logex/build"
logger := build.New(config)
logger.Debugf("int value = %v", intVal)

Or build a logger backend directly

import "github.com/hedzr/logex/logx/logrus"
logrus.New(level string, traceMode, debugMode bool, opts ...Opt)

import "github.com/hedzr/logex/logx/zap"
zap.New(level string, traceMode, debugMode bool, opts ...Opt)

import "github.com/hedzr/logex/logx/zap/sugar"
sugar.New(level string, traceMode, debugMode bool, opts ...Opt)

import "github.com/hedzr/logex/logx/zerolog"
zerolog.New(level string, traceMode, debugMode bool, opts ...Opt)

Or, build the logger with pure go codes

import "github.com/hedzr/logex/build"
// config:=build.NewLoggerConfig()
config := build.NewLoggerConfigWith(true, "logrus", "debug")
logger := build.New(config)
logger.Debugf("int value = %v", intVal)

That's all stocked.

Integrating your backend

You can wrap a logging backend with log.Logger and register it into logex/build. Why we should do it like this? A universal logger creating interface from logex/build will simplify the application initiliazing coding, esp. in a framework.

import "github.com/hedzr/logex/build"

build.RegisterBuilder("someone", createSomeLogger)

func createSomeLogger(config *log.LoggerConfig) log.Logger {
 //... wrapping your logging backend to log.Logger
}

// and use it:
build.New(build.NewLoggerConfigWith(true, "someone", "debug"))
build.New(build.NewLoggerConfigWith(false, "someone", "info"))

Legacy tools

Ignore the extra caller frames

If you are writing logging func wrappers, you might ignore the extra caller frames for those wrappers:

func wrong(err error, fmt string, args interface{}) {
    logrus.WithError(err).WithFields(logrus.Fields{
        logex.SKIP: 1,  // ignore wrong() frame
    }).Errorf(fmt, args)
}

func wrongInner(err error, fields logrus.Fields, fmt string, args interface{}) {
    logrus.WithError(err).WithFields(fields).Errorf(fmt, args)
}

func wrongwrong(err error, fmt string, args interface{}) {
    wrongInner(err, logrus.Fields{
        logex.SKIP: 2,  // ignore wrongwrong() and wrongInner() frame
    }, fmt, args...)
}

For go test

make logrus works in go test

The codes is copied from:

https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/issues/834

And in a test function, you could code now:

   func TestFoo(t *testing.T) {
     defer logex.CaptureLog(t).Release()
     // …
   }
