Slogtest
The new structured logging library is a great addition, its nice to have structured logging in the standard lib.
It's easy to get started with log/slog and one of the built in handlers, but as soon as you want to change something the library design pushes you towards implementing an entire handler.
For example, if I was the built in JSON format, but with a different formatting of the Time field, that's not easy to do. It's not obvious how to change the built in handler.
I wrote slogmw[1] to solve this problem. It's a set of middleware and examples that make it easy to make small changes to the built in handlers without having to write a whole new handler from scratch.

A guide covering how to write custom handlers is out of scope for this post, but you can find one such guide written by the author of slog here. Thankfully, you donβt need to write a handler from scratch to use one. There are several community-contributed handlers, including handlers that allow you to output colored logs, and a handler that lets you implement sampling. You can find a full list here.
- slog module, colorize output based on level
- [Golang] tint: π slog.Handler that writes tinted logs
