kernel

go-kernel-mt

A tiny, opinionated "kernel" for modular Go applications.

go-kernel-mt provides:

• A minimal module contract (ModuleIntf) with two lifecycle hooks:
  • RegisterPermissions()
  • ExposeMethods()
• A simple kernel that registers modules by name and runs them in order:
  1. calls RegisterPermissions() on all modules
  2. calls ExposeMethods() on all modules
• A small logging package with a global Logger interface and a zerolog implementation.

Install

go get github.com/Marekt94/go-kernel-mt

Quick example

package main

import (
	kernel "github.com/Marekt94/go-kernel-mt"
	"github.com/Marekt94/go-kernel-mt/logging"
)

type HelloModule struct{}

func (m *HelloModule) GetName() string            { return "hello" }
func (m *HelloModule) RegisterPermissions()      { /* optional */ }
func (m *HelloModule) ExposeMethods()            { logging.Global.Infof("Hello from module") }

func main() {
	logging.SetGlobalLogger(logging.NewZerologLogger())

	k := kernel.NewKernel()
	k.RegisterModule(&HelloModule{})
	k.Run()
}

Design notes

• No inheritance / no magic: composition + small interfaces.
• Duplicate module names cause a panic during registration.
• Kernel.Init() is currently a no-op and can be used by embedding/wrapping the kernel in your own application type.

Logging

The logging package exposes a global logger (logging.Global) to keep dependencies small and avoid wiring in tiny projects.

• Default logger is a safe dummyLogger (prints a warning that the logger wasn't initialized).
• Call logging.SetGlobalLogger(...) to set a real logger.
• logging.NewZerologLogger() configures a console zerolog logger.
  • You can set the env var LOG_LEVEL (e.g. trace, debug, info, warn).
