Message Type Package

Overview

The messagetype package provides functionality for classifying text messages into different types based on their content. This package is useful for categorizing log messages, user notifications, or any text content that needs to be displayed with appropriate styling or handling.

Message Types

The package defines the following message types:

• Normal: Standard message with no specific classification
• Info: Informational message
• Error: Error message
• Warning: Warning message
• OK: Success/confirmation message

Usage

Import the package

import "github.com/cdvelop/messagetype"

Using the message type detection

message := "Failed to connect to database"
msgType := messagetype.DetectMessageType(message)

// msgType will be messagetype.Error

if msgType == messagetype.Error {
    // Handle error message
}

// Multiple arguments
msgType := messagetype.DetectMessageType("Processing", err, "Completed")
// Returns Error (highest priority)

Detection Logic

The DetectMessageType function analyzes the content of a message and categorizes it based on keywords:

• Error messages: Contain keywords like "error", "failed", "exit status 1", "undeclared", "undefined", or "fatal"
• Warning messages: Contain keywords like "warning" or "warn"
• Info messages: Contain keywords like "info", "...", "starting", "initializing", or "success"
• Normal messages: Default type for messages that don't match other categories
