A Minimal Logging Library for Go Applications

This library offers a straightforward and adaptable way to log messages with varying severity levels to different destinations, such as files.

Features

• Log messages with severity levels: Debug, Info, Warning, Error.
• Customize log format: Include timestamp, log level, and message.
• Easy configuration and usage: Designed for seamless integration into Go programs.
• Support for logging to files: Future expansion planned for additional destinations.
• Log filtering (coming soon): Filter based on log level, source module, and content.

Installation

To incorporate this library into your Go project, run the following command in your terminal:

go get github.com/bitsexplained/logger

Usage

• Here's an example demonstrating how to utilize this library in your Go application:

   package main

   import (
      "github.com/bitsexplained/logger"
   )

    func main() {
        // Create a new logger instance
        logger := logging.NewLogger()

        // Set log level to Debug
        logger.SetLogLevel(logging.Debug)

        // Set log format
        logFormat := logging.LogFormat{
            Timestamp: "2023-04-18 21:54:05",
            Level:     logging.Level,
            Message:   logging.Message,
        }
        logger.SetLogFormat(logFormat)



        // Add file log location
        // ... (similarly, you can add other log location, such as a file or a database)
        logLocation := logging.NewFileLog("logs.txt") // Specify the file name for logs
	    logger.AddLogLocation(logLocation)

        // Log messages
        logger.Log(logging.Debug, "This is a debug message")
        logger.Log(logging.Info, "This is an info message")
        logger.Log(logging.Warning, "This is a warning message")
        logger.Log(logging.Error, "This is an error message")


}

Current Limitations:

• Supports logging to files only.
• Filtering functionality is not yet implemented.

Future Expansion:

Planned enhancements based on user feedback:

• Additional logging destinations (console, databases, remote logging services)
• Log filtering capabilities
