logg

logg

Better log experience in golang.

Installation

go get github.com/pkgz/logg

Features

• color logs
• different output formats (pretty/json)
• different levels (debug/info/error/warning/panic)
• can be used with internal log library
• zero allocations

Usage

There is two way how you can use this logger:

• install globally (this option will set own writer to default log);
• using a local logger instance;

Global logger

In this mode, the logger will set own writer to log the library. So you can use the default log library for logging. But with better output.

package main

import (
    "github.com/pkgz/logg"
    "log"
    "os"
)

func main () {
    logg.NewGlobal(os.Stdout)

    log.Print("ERR some message to log")
}

Local logger

In this case, you must define a log instance in each context (function). But in this case, you can define different settings for different scopes.

package main

import (
    "github.com/pkgz/logg"
    "os"
)

func main () {
    log := logg.New(os.Stdout)

    log.Print("ERR some message to log")
}

Json log

package main

import (
    "github.com/pkgz/logg"
    "os"
)

func main () {
    log := logg.New(os.Stdout)
    log.SetFormat(logg.Json)

    log.Print("ERR some message to log")
}

Settings

There are a few parameters which you can set:

• flags (define time and caller format. Using the format from internal log library)
• format (output log format. Pretty or Json)
• color (colorize output or not)

Levels

• Debug: DBG | DEBUG | [DBG] | [DEBUG]
• Info: INF | INFO | [INF] | [INFO]
• Error: ERR | ERROR | [ERR] | [ERROR]
• Warning: WRN | WARN | [WRN] | [WARN]
• Panic: PNC | PANIC | [PNC] | [PANIC]
