Console-Me
Patches Node.js console log methods to add a UTC timestamp to each message
Objectives
The main objective of this project is to be extremely simple. That and to display timestamps next to each message logged using node's console logging methods. It will never depend on any other module to do its thing, and it doesn't have any options, and both are on purpose.
Usage
Just require it somewhere in your project before needing the timestamps:
require('console-me')
console.log('something')
// Output: [2016-04-14T14:38:45.489Z] LOG something
console.error('oops')
// Output: [2016-04-14T14:38:45.489Z] ERROR oopsThe message types will be colored according to the type of logging method used:
- red:
console.error - yellow:
console.warn - green: everything else
Buffered output
The output is buffered in production environments to improve logging performance. The buffer size is set at 8KB after which it's flushed. On process exit all buffered messages will also be flushed to the output.
