# logger (A logger package for Go)

This package is for logging messages to file. The log format can be in json or can be normal.

Its prettly simple to use.

Create the logger Instance - Use 'CreateLogger' function
There are 5 methods available to log, all of these linked to a log level.

• Debug(format string, a ...interface{})
• Info(format string, a ...interface{})
• Warn(format string, a ...interface{})
• Error(format string, a ...interface{})
• Fatal(format string, a ...interface{})

Each of the above functions are assoiated to 5 Loglevels.

• LDebug
• LInfo
• LWarn
• LError
• LFatal

Any of the log level functions can be called from any goroutine and the logging would not be affected.

 log.Info("Starting Hello LINFO")
 log.Warn("Starting Hello LWARN")
 log.Error("Starting Hello LERROR")
 log.Fatal("Starting Hello LFATAL")

# Sample Code 1

package main

import ( 
        "github.com/r-pai/logger"
       )

//Create the logger instance
var log = logger.CreateLogger("./", "Myapp", logger.LDebug)

func main() {
	log.Debug("Starting Hello LDEBUG")
	log.Info("Starting Hello LINFO")
	log.Warn("Starting Hello LWARN")
	log.Error("Starting Hello LERROR")
	log.Fatal("Starting Hello LFATAL")
}

# Sample Code 2 - Log messages in go routines

package main

import (
	"github.com/r-pai/logger"
	"time"
)

func number() int {
	num := 15 * 5
	return num
}

func go1() {
	for i := 0; i < 1000; i++ {
		log.Info("%s %d", "go1 Log message", i)
		time.Sleep(400 * time.Millisecond)
	}
}

func go2() {
	for i := 1000; i < 3000; i++ {
		log.Info("%s %d", "go2 Log message", i)
		time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
	}
}


//Create the logger
var log *logger.GLogger

func init(){
	log = logger.CreateLogger("./", "Myapp", logger.LDebug)

	//constants from time package
	log.SetLogTimeFormat(time.RFC850) //set the time format

	//logout put can be in json format
	log.SetJSONLog(true)

}
//main entry point
func main() {

	go go1()
	go go2()

	for {
	}

}
