Usage

The logger implements the loglevel API

• logger.info(msg: string, data?: any)
• logger.debug(msg: string, data?: any)
• logger.warn(msg: string, data?: any)
• logger.error(msg: string, data?: any)
• logger.trace(msg: string, data?: any)
• logger.setLevel(msg: string, data?: any)
• logger.getLoggers(msg: string, data?: any)
• logger.getLogger(msg: string, data?: any)

Logger adds the following features:

• using a the URL search string lr switches on remote logging, saved in the SessionStorage
• using the URL search string ll=LOGLEVEL sets all log levels to LOGLEVEL
• using the URL search string lc passes an initial context, mostly used in iframes
• creates window.logger=loglevel
• logger.setupLogger: The remote log url can be set by calling logger.setupLogger(url, defaultLogger="default", logContextGetter=false)
• logger.getSetupString: returns a query string to be passed on into iframes

Extra API methods

logger.setupLogger

setupLogger(url, defaultLogger="default", logContextGetter=false) is used set up remote logging.

• defaultLogger- string, specifies the loggerName for the default logger of loglevel. e.g: com-webapp. You can start new loggers using logget.getLogger("mylogger"). A recommended logger naming convention is to use defaultLogger.myLogger for custom loggers.
• logContextGetter - function or false, takes a function that returns extra data to be passed as context for the log message. By default no context is passed with the log message. If loglevel.<method> is called with a second data attribute that has a context key, then the logContextGetter is ignored and data.context is passed on as the log context.

logger.getSetupString

logger.getSetupString() is used to retrieve the current logger settings as a search query url.

The primary usecase of getSetupString is to pass it to an iframe to retain the same remote logging and loglevel settings that the main frame has.

Example

import * as log from "@nagyv/logger"

log.setupLogger('https://www.example.com', 'example-logs', () => ({hello: 'world'}))
log.warn('A warning')
/*
posts the following to https://www.example.com when remote logging is enabled:
{
  'message': 'A warning',
  'loggerName': 'example-logs',
  'context': {
    'hello': 'world'
  }
}
*/

log.warn('A warning', {context: 'mycontext'})
/*
posts the following to https://www.example.com when remote logging is enabled:
{
  'message': 'A warning',
  'loggerName': 'example-logs',
  'context': 'mycontext',
  'data': {'context': 'mycontext'}
}
*/

const otherLog = log.getLogger('otherLog')
log.warn('A warning')
/*
posts the following to https://www.example.com when remote logging is enabled:
{
  'message': 'A warning',
  'loggerName': 'otherLog',
  'context': {
    'hello': 'world'
  }
}
