Using slog

If using Go version 1.21+ the Go SDK provides built in integration with the standard slog package.

package main
import (
	"log/slog"
	"os"

	"go.temporal.io/sdk/client"
	"go.temporal.io/sdk/log"
	"go.temporal.io/sdk/worker"
)

func main() {
	clientOptions := client.Options{
		Logger: log.NewStructuredLogger(
			slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout, &slog.HandlerOptions{
				AddSource: true,
				Level:     slog.LevelDebug,
			}))),
	}
	temporalClient, err := client.Dial(clientOptions)
	// ...
}
