GoLog

GoLog is a logger for GoLang, designed to provide flexible and easy-to-use logging capabilities for Go projects. It aims to simplify logging tasks while offering customization options to suit various project requirements.

Installation 🛠

You can install GoLog as a project dependency using go get:

go get -u github.com/blackmamoth/GoLog

How It Works ⚙

GoLog simplifies logging tasks by providing convenient methods for logging messages at various severity levels, including TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, and CRITICAL. Additionally, it offers the following customization options:

• New(): Creates a new GoLog instance for logging.

• Set_Log_Level(log_level LOG_LEVEL): Sets the minimum log level.

• Set_Log_Format(log_format string): Updates the log format displayed. The default format is [%(asctime)] %(levelname) - [%(filename).%(lineno)]: %(message).

• Set_Log_Stream(log_stream LOG_STREAM): Sets the log stream to console, log file, or both.

• Set_Datetime_Format(format string): Sets the format string for time representation in logs. The default format is Mon, 02 Jan, 2006 15:04:05.

• Set_File_Name(file_name string): Sets the log file name. The default is access.log.

• Set_Max_File_Size(max_size int64): Sets the maximum size for a log file. If exceeded, the current log file is archived, and a new one is created. The default size is 50 * 1024 * 1024 bytes.

• Set_Max_Days(max_days int): Sets the maximum number of days a log file should store logs. If exceeded, the current file is archived, and a new one is created.

• Zip_Archive(zip_archive bool): Specifies whether a log file should be archived while it is rotated. If false, the current log file will be removed, and a new one will be generated.

• With_Emoji(with_emoji bool): Specifies whether log statements should contain emoji.

• Exit_On_Critical(exit bool): Specifies whether program should exit on a critical log.

Example Usage 📝

package main

import (
	golog "github.com/blackmamoth/GoLog"
)

func main() {
	// Initialize the logger
	logger := golog.New()

	// Set logging level
	logger.Set_Log_Level(golog.LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG)

	// Set log format
	logger.Set_Log_Format("[%(asctime)] %(levelname) - %(message)")

	// Set log stream
	logger.Set_Log_Stream(golog.LOG_STREAM_MULTIPLE)

	// Set max size
	logger.Set_Max_File_Size(10 * 1024 * 1024)

	// Make use of emojis in log statement
	logger.With_Emoji(true)

	// Log messages
	logger.DEBUG("Debug message")
	logger.INFO("Info message")
	logger.WARN("Warning message")
	logger.ERROR("Error message")
	logger.CRITICAL("Critical message")
}
