Log Package

The log package provides a common interface that can be used in applications and libraries along with reference implementation wrappers for logrus, zap, the Go standard library package, and for a CLI.

Note: this codebase is under active development. Consider it beta code.

Go Report Card GoDoc

The Problem

The problem is that there are many logging packages where each has its own interface. This makes it difficult to mix and match libraries and code that depend on different interfaces. It also makes it difficult to change logging libraries if the one you are using becomes deprecated or you would like to switch to a different one (e.g., you want to tie into a logging service).

The log package aims to provide a solution to this problem.

Use Cases

This library was born out of a specific problem that also presents itself as a solution for a second use case.

Use Case 1: Console and Logging

I was working on an application that needs to write output to the console (sometimes with color) and to logrus. logrus is in the maintenance stage of development (it's even recommending other logging packages) so I can see it someday being replaced in the system I'll have to deal with.

I needed a solution that let me write messages that in some situations are sent to console output and in other situations are sent to logs. In the first situation it is as part of a CLI application. In the second case the code is imported as a library in a service.

The solution is to use an interface with varying implementations.

Use Case 2: Logging In Go Is Diverse Which Makes It Hard

Rust, PHP, and many other languages have APIs for logging that different implementations can implement. This makes logging pluggable and improves library interoperability.

This is a secondary use case and benefit from having an interface.

Usage

The usage documentation is broken down into 3 types of usage depending on your situation.

Library / Package Authors

If you are a library or package author there are two ways you can use this log package.

First, you can import the package and use the package level logging options. For example:

import(
    "github.com/Masterminds/log-go"
)

log.Info("Send Some Info")

You can use this for logging within your package.

Second, if you want to pass a logger around your package you can use the interface provided by this package. For example:

import "github.com/Masterminds/log-go"

func NewConstructorExample(logger log.Logger) {
    return &Example{
        logger: logger,
    }
}

func (e *Example) Foo() {
    e.logger.Info("Send Some Info")
}

In your packages testing you can check log messages if you need to see that they are working and contain what you are looking for. A simple example of doing this is in the _examples directory.

Application Developers

If you are developing an application that will be writing logs you will want to setup and configure logging the way you want. This is where this interface based package empowers you. You can pick your logging implementation or write your own.

For example, if you want to use a standard logrus logger you can setup logging like so:

import(
    "github.com/Masterminds/log-go"
    "github.com/Masterminds/log-go/impl/logrus"
)

log.Current = logrus.NewStandard()

In this example a standard logrus logger is created, wrapped in a struct instance that conforms to the interface, and is set as the global logger to use.

The impl directory has several reference implementations and they have configurable setups.

Once you setup the global logger the way you want all the packages will use this same logger.

Logger Developers

There are many loggers and many ways to record logs. They can be written to a file, sent to stdout/stderr, sent to a logging service, and more. Each of these is possible with this package.

If you have logger you want to use you can write one that conforms to the Logger interface found in log.go. That logger can then be configured as documented in the previous section.

The impl directory has reference implementations you can look at for further examples.

Log Levels

The following log levels are currently implemented across the interface and all the reference implementations.

  • Fatal
  • Panic
  • Error
  • Warn
  • Info
  • Debug
  • Trace

Overview

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/Masterminds/log-go"
	"github.com/Masterminds/log-go/impl/logrus"
)

type Foo struct {
	Logger log.Logger
}

func (f *Foo) DoSomething() {
	f.Logger.Info("Hello Logging")
}

func main() {

	// Using the default Logger
	log.Info("Hello")
	log.Error("World")

	// Create a logrus logger with default configuration that uses the log
	// interface. Note, logrus can be setup with default settings or setup with
	// custom settings using a second constructor.
	lgrs := logrus.NewStandard()

	// Set logrus as the global logger
	log.Current = lgrs

	// Logrus is now used globally for logging
	log.Warn("Warning through logrus")

	f1 := Foo{
		Logger: lgrs,
	}

	// Logging in DoSomething will use the set logger which is logrus
	f1.DoSomething()

	f2 := Foo{
		// The log package uses the global logger from the standard library log
		// package. A custom standard library logger can be used with the
		// github.com/Masterminds/log-go/impl/std package.
		Logger: log.NewStandard(),
	}

	// Logging in DoSomething will the logger from the standard library
	f2.DoSomething()

	// Need to detect the logger being used? You can check for the type.
	switch log.Current.(type) {
	case *log.StdLogger:
		fmt.Println("The default logger")
	case *logrus.Logger:
		fmt.Printf("Logrus is used for logging")
	default:
		fmt.Printf("Something else that implements the interface")
	}
}
