Outburst

Simple, light weight, lazy logging which gets out of your way.

I'm not looking to replace propper loggers like the impressive Logrus I'd recommend you consider it, but I think there is a need to have quick dirty and convienient logging - like outburst. Logging which:

• is easy to set up and configure
• shorter to use than fmt.Println()
• has shiny colored fonts in the terminal
• supports emojis if you want them
• outputs to a file if/when needed

Start Here

0. Get - as you would any other go package

go get github.com/areThereAnyUserNamesleft/outburst

1. Import - consider using ob as a convienient alias

import ob "github.com/areThereAnyUserNamesLeft/outburst"

2. Initiate - consider calling it log or whatever

	log := ob.NewOutBurst()

3. Log - see examples

Example 1 - Key - Value logging:

	log.Out(ob.Knot{"Scooby Doo": Dog, "Age": 4}).Burst(ob.Info)

	// Or if you want an even shorter version!

	log.Info(ob.KV{"Scooby Doo": Dog, "Age": 4})

	// (Hint - Knot and KV are the same data structure)

Both the above give you some nice output in your logfile

Info [2019-03-30]-[15:40:31]- Scooby Doo:Dog -  Age:4

or some nicely colored loglines in the terminal Additionally, the output can be colored and have emojis to reflect the error.

Configured by a yaml file

The default settings are handled by a yaml file in your projects root - see outburst.yaml for an example.

Extra convienience functions -

Error Logging

log.ErrCheck(err, ob.KV{"Scooby Doo": Dog, "Age": 4})

// replaces

if err != nil {
    log.Error(cb.KV{"Error": err, "Scooby Doo":Dog, "Age": 4})
}

// The Knot/KV is an optional parameter so you can include them or not or include multiple.
