Hi! I've been playing around with the new slog package, and I noticed that it was missing formatter funcs (Infof, Errorf, etc). I'm interested in adding these, but I wasn't sure if this was done intentionally since the godoc calls out this type of functionality in examples <https://pkg.go.dev/log/slog#hdr-Wrapping_output_methods>.
Helpers have been suggested as a workaround for this <https://github.com/golang/go/issues/59145#issuecomment-1481920720>, but this is common enough behavior for me that I think it'd be very helpful to have upstream to make it easy to do things like: slog.Errorf("error calling func: %v", err) Rough idea would be do expose formatter functions in the Logger <https://pkg.go.dev/log/slog#Logger>, with the tradeoff that you replace formatter args for Attr args: ```go func (l *Logger) Errorf(format string, args ...any) { l.log(context.Background(), LevelError, fmt.Sprintf(msg, args...)) } func (l *Logger) ErrorContextf(ctx context.Background(ctx context.Context, format string, args ...any) { l.log(ctx, LevelError, fmt.Sprintf(msg, args...)) } ``` I wanted to check in before I opened an issue! 🙏 Let me know if this makes sense, or if there's context I'm missing.
