node-log

A simple logger for node, that logs to the console, with the purpose of being consumed by the Docker logging driver

Usage

Set log level

Logging level can be set globally:

import Logger from '@zapperadmin/node-log'

Logger.logLevel('error')

Logger.info('this wont show')
Logger.fatal('this will show')

Logging functions that are available are:
trace
debug
info
warn
error
fatal
ok

Each function takes a parameter of type string or ILogMessage:

| Property | Type | Required | | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | | message | string | yes | | data | any | no | | error | Error | no |

import Logger from '@zapperadmin/node-log'

const logger = new Logger()

const myFunction = () => {
	try {
		const x = 10
		x = 20
	} catch (e) {
		logger.error({
			message: 'An error occurred',
			error: e,
			data: {
				foo: 'bar'
			}
		})
	}
}

myFunction()

Output

Logs are formatted according to Zapper's single line format in order to accommodate current reporting tools:

[Timestamp][LogLevel][LogProvider][MachineName][ProcessName][AssemblyName][MethodName][LineNumber][Message][References][EscapedException]
