@meta-commons/ts-log

Overview

@meta-commons/ts-log is a lightweight and flexible TypeScript logging utility designed to simplify logging across Node.js applications. It provides customizable logging levels, structured log messages, and easy configuration for output formats, making it an ideal logging tool for applications of any size.

This package is a wrapper of the Winston log package, please check for winston on (https://www.npmjs.com/package/winston)

Key Features:

• Multiple Logging Levels: Supports standard logging levels like info, debug, error and warn
• Log Formatting: Supports structured logs and customizable output formats such as JSON and plain text, by default it outputs JSON format.
• Async-Aware Logging: Optimized for asynchronous logging.
• Pluggable: Custom log transports can be added for flexibility (console, file, external logging systems).

Installation

You can install @meta-commons/ts-log via npm or yarn:

npm install @meta-commons/ts-log

or

yarn add @meta-commons/ts-log

Basic Usage

Below is a simple example demonstrating how to use the logger:

import { Logger } from '@meta-commons/ts-log';

// Log different levels of messages
Logger.info('This is an info message');
Logger.error('This is an error message');
Logger.debug('This is a debug message that will not be shown unless the level is set to debug');

Advanced Usage

To enable structured logging or customize the logging output, pass options to the logger constructor:

import * as winston from 'winston';
import { LoggerBuilder } from '@meta-commons/ts-log';

// Create a logger with JSON output
const logger = LoggerBuilder.createCustomLogger('info', winston.format.json(), new winston.transports.Console());

// Example logging
logger.info('User login', { userId: 123 });
logger.error('Failed to connect to database', { dbHost: 'localhost' });

Nest and Express Middleware

It comes with a default middleware for log all request and response call to Nest and Express, just import MetaLoggerMiddleware and run apply method MetaLoggerMiddleware.apply()

Apply method accept some request response log option as described belows

 interface RequestResponseLogOptions {
    /**
     * Log level that the request log will be printed
     * Attention it does not means the application log level it only effects the request log level
     * @default DEBUG
     */
    logLevel?: LogLevel;
    /**
     * Indicates if should encode(base64) the request payload
     * @default true
     */
    encodePayload?: boolean;
    /**
     * Indicate All request paths that should not be logged
     */
    pathNotLogg?: Array<string>;
}

Nest Application

import { MiddlewareConsumer, NestModule } from '@nestjs/common';
import { MetaLoggerMiddleware } from '@meta-commons/ts-log';

export class AppModule implements NestModule {
    configure(consumer: MiddlewareConsumer): any {
        consumer.apply(MetaLoggerMiddleware.apply()).forRoutes('*');
    }
}

Express Application

import { MetaLoggerMiddleware } from '@meta-commons/ts-log';

var app = express();

app.use(MetaLoggerMiddleware.apply());

Configuration

By default the package will try to read from environment the variale LOG_LEVEL if it is not provided the debug level will be set

You also can set in your env the variable NODE_ENV=local so in your console the log will be print a formatted json

Log Levels accepted

@meta-commons/ts-log supports the following log levels:

• error
• warn
• info
• debug

Formatters

By default will be printed a json log format but you can customize the json format or even change the format to plain text for example

Custom Formatters

You can create a custom formatter by providing a function to the format option:

LoggerBuilder.getLogger((info: any, opts?: any) => {
  return info
})

Compatibility

This package is compatible with Node.js environments and TypeScript projects. Ensure you are using Node.js version 12 or higher.
