urfave/cli VS zerolog

Can you use a framework like urfavecli https://github.com/urfave/cli? This will auto-update every time it detects a new version from your CLI's GitHub repository

I use https://github.com/urfave/cli for local development over cli parameter inside docker over envs

....\Softwares\go\src\prysm\cmd\prysmctl\checkpointsync\cmd.go:3:8: cannot find package "github.com/urfave/cli/v2" in any of:

urfave/cli - A simple, fast, and fun package for building command line apps in Go;

and probably something else will be added in the future. The final kind of launch command would like to see such djob [options] - command. Command is the command (with arguments to run). -- should separate the arguments of the utility from the arguments of the program to run. There are several excellent solutions for working with command-line arguments, such as spf13/cobra or urfave/cli. But they’re good for building an interface out of a lot of commands, and for one (as in my example) they’re redundant. So I used the flag library. I have defined the following structure with arguments:

There are alternatives available for Cobra as well i.e. mitchellh/cli, go-flags, urfave/cli etc.

Be aware that there is a performance impact compared to using zerolog directly [0] (my uneducated guess is it is likely due to pointer indirection).

Things I can't live without in a new Go project in no particular order:

- https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint - meta-linter

- https://goreleaser.com - automate release workflows

- https://magefile.org - build tool that can version your tools

- https://github.com/ory/dockertest/v3 - run containers for e2e testing

- https://github.com/ecordell/optgen - generate functional options

- https://golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer - generate String()

- https://mvdan.cc/gofumpt - stricter gofmt

- https://github.com/stretchr/testify - test assertion library

- https://github.com/rs/zerolog - logging

- https://github.com/spf13/cobra - CLI framework

FWIW, I just lifted all the tools we use for https://github.com/authzed/spicedb

We've also written some custom linters that might be useful for other folks: https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/tree/main/tools/analyzers

Can you compare it against zerolog?

Hello gophers, I am using https://github.com/uber-go/fx and https://github.com/rs/zerolog for logging.

Hovewer it is not bad to export such a function, if it is done purely for convenience. For example github.com/rs/zerolog works on a logger instances, which can be created manually, but they also provide a github.com/rs/zerolog/blob//log package, which provide you access to the global logger which is more convenient in most cases

IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here

I use zerolog myself and have seen it being used in production several times. Also they have a list of who uses zerolog

This would be so awesome if it was extending an awesome logger like https://github.com/rs/zerolog. Personally I love zerolog because of how it handles different data types including structs!
