Gin-Zerolog

Gin middleware for Logging with zerolog. It is meant as drop in replacement for the default logger used in Gin.

Project Context

Gin-Zerolog replaces the default logger of Gin to use zerolog.

Requirements

Gin-Zerolog uses the following Go packages as dependencies:

• github.com/gin-gonic/gin
• github.com/rs/zerolog

Installation

Assuming you've installed Go and Gin, run this:

go get github.com/dn365/gin-zerolog

Usage

Example

Start your webapp to log to STDERR:

package main

import (
	"github.com/dn365/gin-zerolog"
	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
	r := gin.New()
	r.Use(ginzerolog.Logger("gin"))

	r.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
		c.String(200, "hello, gin-zerolog example")
	})

	r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
		c.String(200, "pong")
	})

	r.Run(":3000")
}

STDERR output of the example above. Lines with prefix "[Gin-Debug]" are hardcoded output of Gin and will not appear in your logfile:

[GIN-debug] [WARNING] Running in "debug" mode. Switch to "release" mode in production.
- using env:	export GIN_MODE=release
- using code:	gin.SetMode(gin.ReleaseMode)
