const Logger = require('@dev/logger');
const config = {
  name: 'my awesome Logger',

    foo: 'yellow'
  },
  transports: [
    {
      type: 'console',
      level: 'debug'
    },
    {
      type: 'file',
      level: 'debug',
      maxsize: 1024 * 1024 * 10, // 10 MB
      maxFiles: 10,
      filename: 'log.txt'
    }
  ]
};
const logger = new Logger(config);
logger.foo('Hello, %s', 'world');
logger.info("That's all, %O", { who: 'folks' });

API

constructor(config)

Creates a new Logger

• config - configuration of Logger instance
  • [name] - name of the logger, will be used as label to each logger output, can be empty
  • [timestamps] - is timestamps enabled
  • [timesatmpsFormat] - format of timestamps, default 'HH:MM:SS DD/MM/YY'
  • [levels] - custom logging levels, see example
  • [colors] - custom colors of logger levels, see example
  • transports - an array of transports to be used for logging, must be not empty
    • type - type of transports, one of the next values console, file
    • [colorize] - enable colors in output
    • [silent] - make transport silent (disable it)
    • level - required, which log level should handle this logger, see default levels Next options are used only in file-type logger.
    • filename - required in file-type logger, directory + filename of destination log file
    • [maxsize] - max file size, if size of log file will be greater than this value, winston will create a new one
    • [maxFiles] - max number of log files, old files will be replaced by new files

patchLoggers()

Replaces all global console methods with methods of winston. Eq. call console.info() are the same to call logger.info(). Original methods are available in property console._native. So you don't need to import logger in each your file. You can use global defined object console

Contributing

To start contributing do

git clone [email protected]:ZulusK/nodejs-logger.git
git checkout develop
git checkout -b <your-branch-name>

The project is developed in accordance with the GitFlow methodology.

What it means

1. All work you should do in your own local branch (naming is important, look below), then make pull request to develop branch
2. Your local branch should not have conflicts with repository develop branch. To avoid it, before push to repository, do:

   git pull origin develop
   # resolve all conflicts, if they exists
   git add --all
   git commit -m "fix conflicts"
   git push origin <your-branch-name>

3. We use next naming of branches:

| branch template | description | | ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | feat/<short-feature-name> | new feature, ex. feat-add-logger | | fix/<short-fix-name> | fix of existing feature, ex. fix-logger | | refactor/<short-scope-description> | refactor, linting, style changes, ex. style-update-eslint | | test/<short-scope-descriptiopn> | tests, ex. test-db-connections | | docs/<short-scope-descriptiopn> | documentation, ex. test-db-connections |

Important, before push

1. We use eslint with this rules to lint code, before making pull request, lint your code:

   npm run lint

2. Before making pull request, run tests

   npm run test
