Installation

npm i @jacraig/woodchuck

Usage

1. Configure the logger with a sink to output to.

import { Logger, ConsoleSink } from '@jacraig/woodchuck';

Logger.configure()
    .minimumLevel("Information")
    .writeTo(new ConsoleSink())
    .build();

2. Log messages with different levels:

Logger.verbose("This is a verbose message: {key}", { "key": "value" });
Logger.debug("This is a debug message: {key}", { "key": "value" });
Logger.information("This is an information message: {key}", { "key": "value" });
Logger.warning("This is a warning message: {key}", { "key": "value" });
Logger.error("This is an error message: {key}", { "key": "value" }, new Error("This is an error"));
Logger.fatal("This is a fatal message: {key}", { "key": "value" }, new Error("This is a fatal error"));

3. Customize the logger with plugins:

Logger.configure()
    .enrichWith(new UserAgentEnricher())
    .enrichWith(new UrlEnricher())
    .enrichWith(new CallerEnricher())
    .formatUsing(new DefaultFormatter())
    .minimumLevel("Information")
    .writeTo(new ConsoleSink());

4. Or build your own plugins:

import { LogEventEnricher, LogEvent } from '@jacraig/woodchuck';

export class MyCustomPlugin implements LogEventEnricher {
    public enrich(logEvent: LogEvent): void {
        logEvent.properties["myProperty"] = "Something, something, something, dark side";
    }
}
