Log

A minimal and colorful Go logging library. 🪵

It provides a leveled structured human readable logger with a small API. Unlike standard log, the Charm logger provides customizable colorful human readable logging with batteries included.

• Uses lipgloss to style and colorize the output.
• Beautiful human readable format.
• Ability to customize the time stamp format.
• Skips caller frames and marks function as helpers.
• Leveled logging with the ability to turn off logging altogether.
• Store and retrieve logger in and from context.
• Standard log Adapter.

Usage

The Charm logger comes with a global package-wise logger with timestamps turned on and the logging level set to info.

log.Debug("cookie 🍪") // won't print anything
log.Info("Hello World!") // 2023/01/04 10:04:06 INFO Hello World!

All logging levels accept optional key/value pairs to be printed along with the message.

err := fmt.Errorf("too much sugar")
log.Error("failed to bake cookies", "err", err, "butter", "1 cup")
// 2023/01/04 10:04:06 ERROR failed to bake cookies err="too much sugar" butter="1 cup"

You can use log.Print() to print messages without a level prefix.

log.Print("Baking 101") // 2023/01/04 10:04:06 Baking 101

New loggers

Use New() to create new loggers.

logger := log.New()
if butter {
    logger.Warn("chewy!", "butter", true) // WARN chewy! butter=true
}

Options

You can customize the logger with options. Use log.WithCaller() to enable printing source location. log.WithTimestamp() prints the timestamp of each log.

logger := log.New(log.WithTimestamp(), log.WithTimeFormat(time.Kitchen),
    log.WithCaller(), log.WithPrefix("baking 🍪"))
logger.Info("Starting oven!", "degree", 375)
// 10:00AM INFO <cookies/oven.go:56> baking 🍪: Starting oven! degree=375
time.Sleep(10 * time.Minute)
logger.Info("Finished baking")
// 10:10AM INFO <cookies/oven.go:60> baking 🍪: Finished baking

Use log.SetFormatter() or log.WithFormatter() to change the output format. Available options are:

• log.TextFormatter (default)
• log.JSONFormatter
• log.LogfmtFormatter

For a list of available options, refer to options.go.

Set the logger level and options.

logger.SetReportTimestamp(false)
logger.SetReportCaller(false)
logger.SetLevel(log.DebugLevel)
logger.Debug("Preparing batch 2...") // DEBUG baking 🍪: Preparing batch 2...

Sub-logger

Create sub-loggers with their specific fields.

batch2 := logger.With("batch", 2, "chocolateChips", true)
batch2.Debug("Adding chocolate chips")
// DEBUG <cookies/oven.go:68> baking 🍪: Adding chocolate chips batch=2 chocolateChips=true

Format Messages

You can use fmt.Sprintf() to format messages.

for item := 1; i <= 100; i++ {
    log.Info(fmt.Sprintf("Baking %d/100...", item))
    // INFO Baking 1/100...
    // INFO Baking 2/100...
    // INFO Baking 3/100...
    // ...
    // INFO Baking 100/100...
}

Or arguments:

for temp := 375; temp <= 400; temp++ {
    log.Info("Increasing temperature", "degree", fmt.Sprintf("%d°F", temp))
    // INFO Increasing temperature degree=375°F
    // INFO Increasing temperature degree=376°F
    // INFO Increasing temperature degree=377°F
    // ...
    // INFO Increasing temperature degree=400°F
}

Helper Functions

Skip caller frames in helper functions. Similar to what you can do with testing.TB().Helper().

function startOven(degree int) {
    log.Helper()
    log.Info("Starting oven", "degree", degree)
}

log.SetReportCaller(true)
startOven(400) // INFO <cookies/oven.go:123> Starting oven degree=400

This will use the caller function (startOven) line number instead of the logging function (log.Info) to report the source location.

Standard Log Adapter

Some Go libraries, especially the ones in the standard library, will only accept the standard logger interface. For instance, the HTTP Server from net/http will only take a *log.Logger for its ErrorLog field.

For this, you can use the standard log adapter which simply wraps the logger in a *log.Logger interface.

stdlog := log.New(log.WithPrefix("http")).StandardLog(log.StandardLogOption{
    ForceLevel: log.ErrorLevel,
})
s := &http.Server{
    Addr:     ":8080",
    Handler:  handler,
    ErrorLog: stdlog,
}
stdlog.Printf("Failed to make bake request, %s", fmt.Errorf("temperature is to low"))
// ERROR http: Failed to make bake request, temperature is to low
