dlog

dlog (delegating log) wraps common functionality for common golang logging packages.

The dlog.Logger interface wraps the common logging functionality. Every method on dlog.Logger is also a global method on the dlog package. Given an implementation of dlog.Logger, you can register it as the global logger by calling:

func register(logger dlog.Logger) {
  dlog.SetLogger(logger)
}

To make things simple, packages for glog, logrus, log15, and lion are given with the ability to easily register their implementations as the default logger:

import (
  "go.pedge.io/dlog/glog"
  "go.pedge.io/dlog/lion"
  "go.pedge.io/dlog/log15"
  "go.pedge.io/dlog/logrus"
  "go.pedge.io/dlog/zap"
)

func registrationFunctions() {
  dlog_glog.Register() // set glog as the global logger
  dlog_lion.Register() // set lion as the global logger with default settings
  dlog_log15.Register() // set log15 as the global logger with default settings
  dlog_logrus.Register() // set logrus as the global logger with default settings
  dlog_zap.Register() // set zap as the global logger with default settings
}

Or, do something more custom:

import (
  "os"

  "go.pedge.io/dlog"
  "go.pedge.io/dlog/logrus"

  "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
)

func init() { // or anywhere
  logger := logrus.New()
  logger.Out = os.Stdout
  logger.Formatter = &logrus.TextFormatter{
    ForceColors: true,
  }
  dlog.SetLogger(dlog_logrus.NewLogger(logger))
}

By default, golang's standard logger is used. This is not recommended, however, as the implementation with the WithFields function is slow. It would be better to choose a different implementation in most cases.
