debugo

debugo

A lightweight, colorful, and flexible logging utility for Go — inspired by debug in Node.js.

debugo provides namespaced, timestamped, and color-coded logging with support for inclusion/exclusion patterns and pluggable output streams.

✨ Features

• ✅ Namespaced debug logs (namespace:subspace)
• 🎨 Automatic and consistent color assignment per namespace
• 🕒 Time elapsed since last log (e.g., +3ms)
• 🧪 Wildcard-based inclusion/exclusion filtering (*, ?, -namespace:*)
• 🔐 Thread-safe logging with sync.RWMutex
• 🧰 Custom timestamp format and output writer support
• 🎨 JSON output support
• 🎨 Fields output support

📦 Installation

go get github.com/yosev/debugo

🚀 Quick Start

package main

import (
	"github.com/yosev/debugo"
)

func main() {
	debugo.SetNamespace("*") // Enable all logs

	log := debugo.New("app")
	log.Debug("Hello, debugo!")

	sublog := log.Extend("submodule")
	sublog.Debug("Detailed submodule log")
}

Output

15:04:05.123 app Hello, debugo! +0ms
15:04:05.123 app:submodule Detailed submodule log +1ms

⚙️ Configuration

Enable/Disable Namespaces

debugo.SetNamespace("*")                      // Enable all namespaces
debugo.SetNamespace("api:*")                  // Enable 'api' with sub spaces
debugo.SetNamespace("api:*, -api:auth")       // Enable `api:*` with sub spaces except `api:auth`
debugo.SetNamespace("api:?") 						      // Enable `api` with optional with sub spaces
debugo.SetNamespace("")                       // Disable all logging

Supports wildcards (*), optional sub spcaces (?), and negation (-).

Output Stream

f, _ := os.Create("debug.log")
debugo.SetOutput(f) // Send logs to a file instead of stdout

You can also set it back to os.Stdout or os.Stderr as needed.

Timestamp Format

debugo.SetTimestamp(&debugo.Timestamp{
	Format: "15:04:05", // HH:MM:SS (default)
})

Use any Go-compliant time format layout.

✅ Testing

go test -v -race ./...

If using make:

make test
