Debug	logger.DEBUG	debug

The default level for std logger is logger.INFO

Output (Important)

By default, output of log is os.Stderr, but you can customize it with other io.Writer.

Format

Example of format ouput:

# Standar instance of logger
2018/03/16 12:26:48 - DEBUG - Listening on http://0.0.0.0:8000

# Own instance of logger
2018/03/16 12:26:48 - <name of instance> - DEBUG - Hello gopher

How to use:

Call logger ever you want with:

logger.Debugf("Listening on %s", "http://0.0.0.0:8000")

If you want use your own instance of logger:

myLog := logger.New("myInstance", logger.DEBUG, &bytes.Buffer{})  // Change level

myLog.Warning("Hello gopher")

Example

import bytes
import "github.com/savsgio/go-logger"


func myFunc(){
    logger.SetLevel(logger.DEBUG) // Optional (default: logger.INFO)

    ....
    logger.Infof("Hi, you are using %s/%s", "savsgio", "go-logger")
    ....

    customOutput = &bytes.Buffer{}
    myLog := logger.New("myInstance", logger.INFO, customOutput)  // Change level

    myLog.Warning("Hello gopher")
}
