zylog

A simple wrapper for customized logrus usage

Setup

Here's an example of setting up global logging for use by your app in your app's logging package, based on configuration pulled in by Viper (from either a config file or ENV variables):

package logging

import (
	cfg "github.com/spf13/viper"
	log "github.com/geomyidia/zylog/logger"
)

func init() {
	log.SetupLogging(&log.ZyLogOptions{
		Colored:      cfg.GetBool("logging.colored"),
		Level:        cfg.GetString("logging.level"),
		Output:       cfg.GetString("logging.output"),
		ReportCaller: cfg.GetBool("logging.report-caller"),
	})
}

Usage

The setup configures the logrus logger, so wherever you want to log, simply use logrus as you would normally:

...
import (
	log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
)
...
log.Info("You are standing in an open field west of a white house.")
...

There's some more example usage in the demo (./cmd/zylog-demo/main.go). To run it:

$ make build
$ ./bin/demo

At which point you should see something like the following:

Development

A convenience Bash environment file is provided for easy setup:

$ . .env

Background

Note that the formatting provided by this util lib is inspired by the Twig Clojure and the Logjam LFE libraries.
