The format specifications can be found here.

Examples

import "github.com/utahta/go-cronowriter"

w := cronowriter.MustNew("/path/to/example.log.%Y%m%d")
w.Write([]byte("test"))

// output file
// /path/to/example.log.20170204

You can specify the directory as below

w := cronowriter.MustNew("/path/to/%Y/%m/%d/example.log")
w.Write([]byte("test"))

// output file
// /path/to/2017/02/04/example.log

with Location

w := cronowriter.MustNew("/path/to/example.log.%Z", writer.WithLocation(time.UTC))
w.Write([]byte("test"))

// output file
// /path/to/example.log.UTC

with Symlink

w := cronowriter.MustNew("/path/to/example.log.%Y%m%d", writer.WithSymlink("/path/to/example.log"))
w.Write([]byte("test"))

// output file
// /path/to/example.log.20170204
// /path/to/example.log -> /path/to/example.log.20170204

with Mutex

w := cronowriter.MustNew("/path/to/example.log.%Y%m%d", writer.WithMutex())

no use Mutex

w := cronowriter.MustNew("/path/to/example.log.%Y%m%d", writer.WithNopMutex())

with Debug (stdout and stderr)

w := cronowriter.MustNew("/path/to/example.log.%Y%m%d", writer.WithDebug())
w.Write([]byte("test"))

// output file, stdout and stderr
// /path/to/example.log.20170204

with Init

w := cronowriter.MustNew("/path/to/example.log.%Y%m%d", writer.WithInit())

// open the file when New() method is called
// /path/to/example.log.20170204

Example using with zap

uber-go/zap

package main

import (
	"github.com/utahta/go-cronowriter"
	"go.uber.org/zap"
	"go.uber.org/zap/zapcore"
)

func main() {
	w1 := cronowriter.MustNew("/tmp/example.log.%Y%m%d")
	w2 := cronowriter.MustNew("/tmp/internal_error.log.%Y%m%d")
	l := zap.New(
		zapcore.NewCore(
			zapcore.NewJSONEncoder(zap.NewProductionEncoderConfig()),
			zapcore.AddSync(w1),
			zapcore.InfoLevel,
		),
		zap.ErrorOutput(zapcore.AddSync(w2)),
	)
	l.Info("test")
}

// output
// /tmp/example.log.20170204
// {"level":"info","ts":1486198722.1201255,"msg":"test"}
