lecho 🍅

Zerolog wrapper for Echo web framework.

Installation

For Echo v4:

go get github.com/ziflex/lecho/v3

For Echo v3:

go get github.com/ziflex/lecho

Quick start

package main 

import (
	"os"
	"github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
	"github.com/labstack/echo/v4/middleware"
	"github.com/ziflex/lecho/v3"
)

func main() {
    e := echo.New()
    e.Logger = lecho.New(os.Stdout)
}

Using existing zerolog instance

package main 

import (
	"os"
	"github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
	"github.com/labstack/echo/v4/middleware"
	"github.com/ziflex/lecho/v3"
        "github.com/rs/zerolog"
)

func main() {
    log := zerolog.New(os.Stdout)
    e := echo.New()
    e.Logger = lecho.From(log)
}

Options

import (
	"os",
	"github.com/labstack/echo"
	"github.com/labstack/echo/middleware"
	"github.com/ziflex/lecho/v3"
)

func main() {
    e := echo.New()
    e.Logger = lecho.New(
       os.Stdout,
       lecho.WithLevel(log.DEBUG),
       lecho.WithFields(map[string]interface{}{ "name": "lecho factory"}),
       lecho.WithTimestamp(),
       lecho.WithCaller(),
       lecho.WithPrefix("we ❤️ lecho"),
       lecho.WithHook(...),
       lecho.WithHookFunc(...),
    )
}

Middleware

Logging requests and attaching request id to a context logger

import (
	"os",
	"github.com/labstack/echo"
	"github.com/labstack/echo/middleware"
	"github.com/ziflex/lecho/v3"
	"github.com/rs/zerolog"
)

func main() {
    e := echo.New()
    logger := lecho.New(
            os.Stdout,
            lecho.WithLevel(log.DEBUG),
            lecho.WithTimestamp(),
            lecho.WithCaller(),
         )
    e.Logger = logger
    
    e.Use(middleware.RequestID())
    e.Use(lecho.Middleware(lecho.Config{
    	Logger: logger
    }))	
    e.GET("/", func(c echo.Context) error {
        c.Logger().Print("Echo interface")
        zerolog.Ctx(c.Request().Context()).Print("Zerolog interface")
	
	return c.String(http.StatusOK, "Hello, World!")
    })
}

Escalate log level for slow requests:

e.Use(lecho.Middleware(lecho.Config{
    Logger: logger,
    RequestLatencyLevel: zerolog.WarnLevel,
    RequestLatencyLimit: 500 * time.Millisecond,
}))

Nesting under a sub dictionary

e.Use(lecho.Middleware(lecho.Config{
        Logger: logger,
        NestKey: "request"
    }))
    // Output: {"level":"info","request":{"remote_ip":"5.6.7.8","method":"GET", ...}, ...}

Enricher

Enricher allows you to add additional fields to the log entry.

e.Use(lecho.Middleware(lecho.Config{
        Logger: logger,
        Enricher: func(c echo.Context, logger zerolog.Context) zerolog.Context {
            return e.Str("user_id", c.Get("user_id"))
        },
    }))
    // Output: {"level":"info","user_id":"123", ...}

Errors

Since lecho v3.4.0, the middleware does not automatically propagate errors up the chain. If you want to do that, you can set HandleError to true.

e.Use(lecho.Middleware(lecho.Config{
    Logger: logger,
    HandleError: true,
}))

Helpers

Level converters

import (
    "fmt",
    "github.com/labstack/echo"
    "github.com/labstack/echo/middleware"
    "github.com/labstack/gommon/log"
    "github.com/ziflex/lecho/v3"
)

func main() {
	var z zerolog.Level
	var e log.Lvl
	
    z, e = lecho.MatchEchoLevel(log.WARN)
    
    fmt.Println(z, e)
    
    e, z = lecho.MatchZeroLevel(zerolog.INFO)

    fmt.Println(z, e)
}
