Description
This PR resolves issue #796 by replacing a hardcoded "magic number" for the log level with a descriptive constant from the Logrus library. The main goal is to improve code readability and maintainability.

Notes for Reviewers
Purpose of this PR
This PR resolves issue #796. The change replaces the integer 4 with the named constant logrus.InfoLevel. The main goal is to improve code readability and maintainability.

And as per your command comments are removed ,apologise for being inconvenient.

How was this addressed?
Modified broker/nats.go and broker/channel.go. Replaced the integer 4 with the named constant logrus.InfoLevel. Added the logrus import where necessary.

How to test?
This is a code quality refactor, and existing behavior is unchanged.

Run the unit tests for the broker package to ensure all tests still pass.

Visually inspect the changed lines in nats.go and channel.go to confirm the constant is being used.

Summary of Changes

Hello @ChrissHenilston777, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances code quality by refactoring how log levels are configured within the 'broker/channel' and 'broker/nats' packages. It replaces direct integer values with the 'logrus.InfoLevel' constant, significantly improving the clarity and maintainability of the logging setup. This change ensures that log levels are expressed semantically rather than numerically, aligning with best practices for code readability and reducing potential for misinterpretation.

Highlights

  • Code Readability: Replaced hardcoded integer '4' with the descriptive 'logrus.InfoLevel' constant for log level configuration in logger initialization.
  • Maintainability: Improved maintainability by using a named constant instead of a 'magic number', making the code's intent clearer and easier to understand for future developers.
  • Dependency Management: Added the 'github.com/sirupsen/logrus' import to 'broker/channel/channel.go' and 'broker/nats/nats.go' to access the 'InfoLevel' constant.

Code Review

This pull request correctly replaces a hardcoded log level value with the logrus.InfoLevel constant, which significantly improves code readability and maintainability. The changes are applied consistently across broker/channel/channel.go and broker/nats/nats.go. While this is a definite improvement, I've added a couple of comments with suggestions for a potential future refactoring to further improve the logger abstraction and reduce coupling between packages. On a minor note, the PR title seems to have a typo, referencing issue #769 instead of #796.

log, err = logger.New("channel-broker", logger.Options{
Format: logger.TerminalLogFormat,
LogLevel: 4, // Info level
LogLevel: int(logrus.InfoLevel),

While using logrus.InfoLevel is a great improvement over the magic number 4, it introduces a direct dependency on the logrus package here. This couples the broker package to the implementation details of the logger package.

A better long-term solution would be for the logger package to expose its own log level constants (e.g., logger.InfoLevel). This would allow consumer packages to depend only on the logger abstraction, not its underlying logrus implementation, and would remove the need to import logrus in this file.

Since changing the logger package is likely outside the scope of this PR, the current change is a good step forward. You might consider creating a follow-up technical debt ticket to address this.

lg, lerr = logger.New("nats-handler", logger.Options{
Format: logger.TerminalLogFormat,
LogLevel: 4, // Info
LogLevel: int(logrus.InfoLevel),

Similar to the other file in this PR, using logrus.InfoLevel here is a good improvement for readability. However, it creates a dependency on logrus just for a constant.

To improve encapsulation, the logger package could define and expose its own log level constants. This would mean consumer packages like this one wouldn't need to import logrus directly, making the logger a more complete abstraction. This could be a good candidate for a future refactoring task.
