+Seamless printing to the terminal (stdout) and logging to a io.Writer

+
+JWW is primarily a wrapper around the excellent standard log library. It
+provides a few advantages over using the standard log library alone.
+
+1. Ready to go out of the box.
+2. One library for both printing to the terminal and logging (to files).
+3. Really easy to log to either a temp file or a file you specify.
+
+
+I really wanted a very straightforward library that could seamlessly do
+the following things.
+
+1. Replace all the println, printf, etc statements thought my code with
+ something more useful
+2. Allow the user to easily control what levels are printed to stdout
+3. Allow the user to easily control what levels are logged
+4. Provide an easy mechanism (like fmt.Println) to print info to the user
+ which can be easily logged as well
+5. Due to 2 & 3 provide easy verbose mode for output and logs
+6. Not have any unnecessary initialization cruft. Just use it.
+
+# Usage
+
+## Step 1. Use it
+Put calls throughout your source based on type of feedback.
+No initialization or setup needs to happen. Just start calling things.
+
+Available Loggers are:
+
+ * TRACE
+ * DEBUG
+ * INFO
+ * WARN
+ * ERROR
+ * CRITICAL
+ * FATAL
+
+These each are loggers based on the log standard library and follow the
+standard usage. Eg.
+
+```go
+ import (
+ jww "github.com/spf13/jwalterweatherman"
+ )
+
+ ...
+
+ if err != nil {
+
+ // This is a pretty serious error and the user should know about
+ // it. It will be printed to the terminal as well as logged under the
+ // default thresholds.
+
+ jww.ERROR.Println(err)
+ }
+
+ if err2 != nil {
+ // This error isn’t going to materially change the behavior of the
+ // application, but it’s something that may not be what the user
+ // expects. Under the default thresholds, Warn will be logged, but
+ // not printed to the terminal.
+
+ jww.WARN.Println(err2)
+ }
+
+ // Information that’s relevant to what’s happening, but not very
+ // important for the user. Under the default thresholds this will be
+ // discarded.
+
+ jww.INFO.Printf("information %q", response)
+
+```
+
+NOTE: You can also use the library in a non-global setting by creating an instance of a Notebook:
+
+```go
+notepad = jww.NewNotepad(jww.LevelInfo, jww.LevelTrace, os.Stdout, ioutil.Discard, "", log.Ldate|log.Ltime)
+notepad.WARN.Println("Some warning"")
+```
+
+_Why 7 levels?_
+
+Maybe you think that 7 levels are too much for any application... and you
+are probably correct. Just because there are seven levels doesn’t mean
+that you should be using all 7 levels. Pick the right set for your needs.
+Remember they only have to mean something to your project.
+
+## Step 2. Optionally configure JWW
+
+Under the default thresholds :
+
+ * Debug, Trace & Info goto /dev/null
+ * Warn and above is logged (when a log file/io.Writer is provided)
+ * Error and above is printed to the terminal (stdout)
+
+### Changing the thresholds
+
+The threshold can be changed at any time, but will only affect calls that
+execute after the change was made.
+
+This is very useful if your application has a verbose mode. Of course you
+can decide what verbose means to you or even have multiple levels of
+verbosity.
+
+
+```go
+ import (
+ jww "github.com/spf13/jwalterweatherman"
+ )
+
+ if Verbose {
+ jww.SetLogThreshold(jww.LevelTrace)
+ jww.SetStdoutThreshold(jww.LevelInfo)
+ }
+```
+
+Note that JWW's own internal output uses log levels as well, so set the log
+level before making any other calls if you want to see what it's up to.
+
+
+### Setting a log file
+
+JWW can log to any `io.Writer`:
+
+
+```go
+
+ jww.SetLogOutput(customWriter)
+
+```
+
+
+# More information
+
+This is an early release. I’ve been using it for a while and this is the
+third interface I’ve tried. I like this one pretty well, but no guarantees
+that it won’t change a bit.
+
+I wrote this for use in [hugo](https://gohugo.io). If you are looking
