go-logger

Basic logger library with the following features:

• timestamp
• level support (INFO, ERROR, WARNING and FATAL)
• verbose mode
• log to channel

Info log messages are redirected to stdout, stderr otherwise.

Installation

go get -u github.com/dmachard/go-logger

Usage example

Create logger with verbose mode enabled.

import (
    "github.com/dmachard/go-logger"
)

lg := logger.New(true)
lg.Info("just a basic message!")

Output example:

INFO: 2021/07/04 14:18:22.270971 just a basic message

Usage example with channel

Create logger with channel

import (
    "github.com/dmachard/go-logger"
)

logsChan := make(chan logger.LogEntry, 10)

lg := logger.New(false)
lg.SetOutputChannel((logsChan))

lg.Info("just a basic message!")

entry := <-logsChan
fmt.Println(entry.Level, entry.Message)
