@spot-meetings/backend-logger

Simple console logger based on Winston.

Installation

npm i @spot-meetings/backend-logger

Usage

Environments

The environment will be taken from either the RUNTIME_ENV or NODE_ENV env variables, in that order. This allows you to have different build and running environments.

Log Level

Service should run with LOG_LEVEL environment variable set:

$ LOG_LEVEL=info node index.js

Then, the logger will log anything that has lower priority than the LOG_LEVEL env variable:

Read more about Winston's log levels to know what will be logged depending on your LOG_LEVEL env variable.

As this module is just a pre-configured instance of Winston, please refer to their usage documentation for more details.

Log Output

To set different output types, set the LOG_OUTPUT env var to any of the following:

• summary: Just the log message with a timestamp and a label.
• details: The above plus detailed information about the log message in JSON format, pretty printed.
• raw: The raw, inline JSON message.

Example

./some/module.ts:

import { createLogger } from '@spot-meetings/backend-logger'

const logger = createLogger('my-service', '127.0.0.1', '1.0.1')

logger.debug('This is not necessary on production.', { hello: 'world' }) // Will not log
logger.info('This is very informational.')
logger.warn('Beware! You\'re about to do a thing.')
logger.error('IT FAILED!')
logger.error('IT FAILED! SEE DETAILS:', {
  extra: 'Yeah, it was bad...',
  error // error object. will log stack as well into stack log property
})
