slight

A tiny, zero-dependency slog handler that feels like printf

Overview

Slight provides an extremely simple, lightweight, zero-dependency slog Handler that looks and feels very much like fmt.Printf statements. Wrapping this in a handler allows you to have a light and simple format while allowing you to take advantage of slog's log levels, attribute handling, and bring your own io.Writer.

Please note that this is an extremely basic implementation of the slog.Handler interface. WithAttrs() and WithGroup() are implemented purely for interface conformity but are functionally identical to the New() function.

Installation

go get github.com/scatternoodle/slight@latest

Optionally, to run unit tests, please use go test with the -race flag, to ensure thread-safety of the handler is properly verified.

Example

package main

import (
	"log/slog"
	"os"

	"github.com/scatternoodle/slight/slight"
)

func main() {
	handler := slight.New(os.Stderr, nil)
	logger := slog.New(handler)
	logger.Info("Greetings!", slog.String("foo", "bar"))
}
