How to disable default error logger in Go-Gorm - mysql

Question

I am using GORM with MySQL, I have encountered and handled the error Error 1062: Duplicate entry. The problem is that it's still printed to the console.
Code in gym/models/auth.go:49:
func AddAuth(username, password string) error {
passwordHash, err := auth.HashPassword(password, argon2Conf)
if err != nil {
return err
}
userAuth := Auth{
Username: username,
Password: passwordHash,
}
return db.Create(&userAuth).Error
}
I am handling the error in the handler function:
func SignUpHandler(c *gin.Context) {
var form user
if err := c.ShouldBind(&form); err != nil {
c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()})
return
}
if err := models.AddAuth(form.Username, form.Password); err == nil {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"status": "you are signed in"})
} else {
// I think I have handled the sql error here
c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": "sign in failed"})
}
}
When I send a POST request, the error is correctly handled and I get the correct response with {"error": "sign in failed"}. But the console still prints this error message:
(/...../gym/models/auth.go:49)
[2019-04-28 23:37:06] Error 1062: Duplicate entry '123123' for key 'username'
[GIN] 2019/04/28 - 23:37:06 | 400 | 136.690908ms | ::1 | POST /signup
I am confused since I handled the error but it still gets printed. How to prevent this error from getting printed to the error log? Or am I handle the error correct?

UPDATE: for gorm v2:
Use the Logger in gorm.Config:
db, err := gorm.Open(sqlite.Open("test.db"), &gorm.Config{
Logger: logger.Default.LogMode(logger.Silent),
})
For gorm v1:
Use db.LogMode to silence the default error logger.
LogMode set log mode, true for detailed logs, false for no log, default, will only print error logs.
db.LogMode(false) should do the job!

I don't have enough reputation to comment but just to add to the answer by ifnotak, you can log sql conditionally by controlling it through an environment variable. This can be handy during debugging.
gormConfig := &gorm.Config{}
if !logSql {
// I use an env variable LOG_SQL to set logSql to either true or false.
gormConfig.Logger = logger.Default.LogMode(logger.Silent)
}
db, err := gorm.Open(dialector, gormConfig)
