package logger import ( "log" "os" ) type Logger struct { debug *log.Logger info *log.Logger warn *log.Logger error *log.Logger } func NewLogger() *Logger { return &Logger{ debug: log.New(os.Stdout, "DEBUG: ", log.LstdFlags), info: log.New(os.Stdout, "INFO: ", log.LstdFlags), warn: log.New(os.Stdout, "WARN: ", log.LstdFlags), error: log.New(os.Stdout, "ERROR: ", log.LstdFlags), } } func (l *Logger) Debug(v ...interface{}) { l.debug.Println(v...) } func (l *Logger) Info(v ...interface{}) { l.info.Println(v...) } func (l *Logger) Warn(v ...interface{}) { l.warn.Println(v...) } func (l *Logger) Error(v ...interface{}) { l.error.Println(v...) }

This code implements a simple logging package in Go that provides a Logger struct to log messages at different severity levels (debug, info, warn, and error). Here's what it does:

  1. Defines a Logger struct:

    • The struct contains four fields: debug, info, warn, and error. Each field is a pointer to a log.Logger, which is part of Go's standard library for logging.
  2. Creates a NewLogger factory function:

    • The NewLogger function initializes and returns a Logger instance.
    • It creates four log.Logger instances (debug, info, warn, error) that log messages to standard output (os.Stdout) with different severity prefixes ("DEBUG: ", "INFO: ", "WARN: ", "ERROR: ").
    • Each instance uses the log.LstdFlags flag, which automatically adds date and time information to log messages.
  3. Implements four logging methods:

    • Debug(v ...interface{}): Logs debug-level messages with the prefix "DEBUG: ".
    • Info(v ...interface{}): Logs info-level messages with the prefix "INFO: ".
    • Warn(v ...interface{}): Logs warning-level messages with the prefix "WARN: ".
    • Error(v ...interface{}): Logs error-level messages with the prefix "ERROR: ".
    • These methods use the Println method of the corresponding log.Logger to write log messages.

Example Usage:

If you use this package to create a Logger instance and call its methods:

package main

import "logger"

func main() {
    log := logger.NewLogger()

    log.Debug("This is a debug message.")
    log.Info("This is an info message.")
    log.Warn("This is a warning message.")
    log.Error("This is an error message.")
}

The output (to standard output) would look something like this:

DEBUG: 2023/10/11 15:00:00 This is a debug message.
INFO: 2023/10/11 15:00:00 This is an info message.
WARN: 2023/10/11 15:00:00 This is a warning message.
ERROR: 2023/10/11 15:00:00 This is an error message.

Summary:

This code provides a flexible and simple logging utility that categorizes log messages by severity levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR) and prefixes them with timestamps for tracking events in an application.
