Advanced Go Logs

Summary

Using Advanced Go Logs you can add log entries with different severety in your golang project. You can define log entries for ERROR, COMMUNICATE, REPORT, INFO, WARN and DEBUG. After you enriched your golang project with advanced log entries, you can put a config file next to your main.go file, where you can specify the loglevel you want to enable. It will follow the direction described above, so if you chose Info inside your config file it will print out Error, Communicate, Report and Info. Each level will be printed in a specific color to the log, so you are able to differentiate them visually. You can set the loglevel per package.

Set Up

Download the project

go get https://github.com/svenschaper/advanced-go-logs

Import the package into your go File

import logging "github.com/svenschaper/advanced-go-logs"

How to use?

Create a config.yml and put it next to your main.go file

log.level: DEBUG                        //Default log level for all packages
log.level.yourPackageName: INFO         //Specific log level for the package yourPackageName
log.level.main: ERROR                   //Specific log level for the package main

Add the following to your go files

var logger logging.Logger

func init() {
	logger = logging.GeneralInitLogger("yourPackageName")
}


func yourFunction(){
    logger.Info("This is a green info message")
	logger.Error("This is a red error message")
	logger.Debug("This is a blue debug message")
	logger.Warn("This is a purple warn message")
