Confused with the slogr level

[pohly]

I'm not sure I am following. Are you trying to configure a logr backend so that it prints slog Warning calls, but not slog Info calls?

That is indeed not possible because the level range from logr is more limited than the one from slog. slog supports levels that go towards negative infinity (= less important) and towards positive infinity (= more important). logr only has "less important than info/error".

Let me detail my case more,

when I am logging, I have the following choices:

1. Error() when error happened
2. Info() when it should always be printed
3. Debug, or some leveled choice, when it should only be printed when manually enabled

when doing Debug logs, the Info() logs should also be printed, right?

In the slogr case I read, It matches the following levels:

1. logr.Error(): 5
2. logr.Info(): 0

I can only use 1-4 for other levels logging,
but when I increase the enabled level, the default Info() logs will be gone

I have tried locally and believed that I found the correct usage.

we should pass the level to slog using 0-level, and this will let us use the logr like the original way.

1. Info(): always logs all the info logs
2. Error(): always print all leveled logs
3. V(N): logs as Debug and controlled by the level we set

just like this, if I set the level=-4:

Jul 26 16:37:34.595 INF draft-go/main.go:28 hello world
Jul 26 16:37:34.596 ERR draft-go/main.go:29 hello world, err
Jul 26 16:37:34.596 INF draft-go/main.go:31 hello level level=0

Jul 26 16:37:34.596 ERR draft-go/main.go:34 hello level err level=5

Jul 26 16:37:34.596 ERR draft-go/main.go:34 hello level err level=9

is that right? if this is the correct usage, it may be worth raising a PR to add an example and docs, and I am glad to help

I'm getting lost when you say Error without being specific whether that is a logr or slog method. I am also not sure I understand what "level we set" refers to.

A PR with example and docs might help to clarify, so yes, please create one.
