Automatic Log Directory

This removes the need to manually create directories before starting the application and ensures that log files can be written immediately after the logger is initialized.

By default, logs are stored in:

./logs

Custom directories can be configured using the Dir option:

package main

import (
	"log/slog"

	"github.com/netlifeguru/logger"
)

func main() {
	closer, err := logger.Init(logger.Config{
		Dir: "./storage/logs",
	})

	if err != nil {
		slog.Error(err.Error())
	}

	defer closer.Close()

	slog.Info("logger initialized")
}

Example generated structure:

storage/
└── logs/
    └── 2026-05-11-0001.log

This behavior is especially useful for:

• fresh deployments
• containerized environments
• CI/CD pipelines
• ephemeral infrastructure
• automated server provisioning
