Logger

Pine has a custom logger but feel free to use whatever logger you would like. It supports both printing the console in color as well as writing to the log file.

If you have suggestions on how to improve the current implementation, do not hesitate.

Init​

The init function takes in the name of the file you wish to store your logs in. It is recommended that your file name ends with .log file type e.g: server.log. You also need to provide the max size of a the log input that can be put in the log. This avoids large entries from filling up the log file.

func Init(fileName string, maxSize int64)error

The default max size of an entry is 100 * 1024 * 1024 bytes.

Methods​

You can simply add to the log file by calling the standard log.Println or log.Printf, however, if would like to print out to the console and save to the log file at the same time, you can use the following methods.

Info​

Prints out message to the console in a white color and saves to the log file.

func Info(message interface{})

Error​

Prints out message to the console in a red color and saves to the log file.

func Error(message interface{})

Warning​

Prints out message to the console in a yellow color and saves to the log file.

func Warning(message interface{})

Success​

Prints out message to the console in a green color and saves to the log file.

func Success(message interface{})
