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:
-
Defines a
Logger
struct:- The struct contains four fields:
debug
,info
,warn
, anderror
. Each field is a pointer to alog.Logger
, which is part of Go's standard library for logging.
- The struct contains four fields:
-
Creates a
NewLogger
factory function:- The
NewLogger
function initializes and returns aLogger
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.
- The
-
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 correspondinglog.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.
