📝 logit

logit is a level-based, high-performance and pure-structured logger for all GoLang applications.

阅读中文版的 Read me

🥇 Features

• Based on Handler in Go, and provide a better performance.
• Level-based logging, and there are four levels to use: debug, info, warn, error.
• Key-Value structured log supports, also supporting format.
• Support logging as Text/Json string, by using provided appender.
• Asynchronous write back supports, providing high-performance Buffer writer to avoid IO accessing.
• Provide global optimized settings, let some settings feet your business.
• Every level has its own appender and writer, separating process error logs is recommended.
• Context binding supports, using logger is more elegant.
• Configuration plugins supports, ex: yaml plugin can create logger from yaml configuration file.
• Interceptor supports which can inject values from context.
• Error handling supports which can let you count errors and report them.
• Rotate file supports, clean automatically if files are aged or too many.
• Config file supports, such as json/yaml/toml/bson.

Check HISTORY.md and FUTURE.md to know about more information.

We redesigned api of logit after v1.5.0 because Go1.21 introduced slog package.

🚀 Installation

$ go get -u github.com/FishGoddess/logit

📖 Examples

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/FishGoddess/logit"
)

func main() {
	// Use default logger to log.
	// By default, logs will be output to stdout.
	// logit.Default() returns the default logger, but we also provide some common logging functions.
	logit.Info("hello from logit", "key", 123)
	logit.Default().Info("hello from logit", "key", 123)

	// Use a new logger to log.
	// By default, logs will be output to stdout.
	logger := logit.NewLogger()

	logger.Debug("new version of logit", "version", "1.5.0-alpha", "date", 20231122)
	logger.Error("new version of logit", "version", "1.5.0-alpha", "date", 20231122)

	type user struct {
		ID   int64  `json:"id"`
		Name string `json:"name"`
	}

	u := user{123456, "fishgoddess"}
	logger.Info("user information", "user", u, "pi", 3.14)

	// Yep, I know you want to output logs to a file, try WithFile option.
	// The path in WithFile is where the log file will be stored.
	// Also, it's a good choice to call logger.Close() when program shutdown.
	logger = logit.NewLogger(logit.WithFile("./logit.log"))
	defer logger.Close()

	logger.Info("check where I'm logged", "file", "logit.log")

	// What if I want to use default logger and output logs to a file? Try SetDefault.
	// It sets a logger to default and you can use it by package functions or Default().
	logit.SetDefault(logger)
	logit.Warn("this is from default logger", "pi", 3.14, "default", true)

	// If you want to change level of logger to info, try WithInfoLevel.
	// Other levels is similar to info level.
	logger = logit.NewLogger(logit.WithInfoLevel())

	logger.Debug("debug logs will be ignored")
	logger.Info("info logs can be logged")

	// If you want to pass logger by context, use NewContext and FromContext.
	ctx := logit.NewContext(context.Background(), logger)

	logger = logit.FromContext(ctx)
	logger.Info("logger from context", "from", "context")

	// Don't want to panic when new a logger? Try NewLoggerGracefully.
	logger, err := logit.NewLoggerGracefully(logit.WithFile(""))
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("new logger gracefully failed:", err)
	}
}
