Common Logger

Common logger is preconfigured console based logger. Currently based on winston.

Installation

npm i @paralect/common-logger

Usage

Create logger.js file in the root of your project:

const createConsoleLogger = require('@paralect/common-logger').createConsoleLogger;

module.exports = createConsoleLogger({ isDev: true });

By default isDev is set to false in logger. If set to true, two things will happen:

1. All logs output will be in plain text (vs json for production like environments)
2. For development environment logger will also output all logger.debug() messages, while none dev info and above.

Expose logger as global object

Since logger is such a common thing, it make sense to expose it as global variable, so it simpler to use it across the project.

global.logger = require('./logger');

// In a place, where you need logger:
const logger = global.logger;
