Console Plus

npm install cplus

• Adds more console log levels: fatal, error, warn, info, log, debug, trace, silly.

• Makes the console output pretty, styled and prefixed by the log level:

  

• Allows log level limit (option: logLevel). NOTE: This will only work with built-in transports. So if you override it with your own transport (using transport option), you have to handle the logic in there.

  // Only display log levels `warn` and more severe (`error`, `fatal`).
  cplus.install({
    logLevel: cplus.LogLevels.WARN,
  })

• Certain log levels can optionally be left untouched (option: untouchedLogLevels).

  // Do not touch console.error() to keep clickable stack traces.
  cplus.install({
    untouchedLogLevels: [cplus.LogLevels.ERROR],
  })

• You can also pass your own custom transport (option: transport).

  const myCustomTransportInstance = new CustomTransport()
  
  cplus.install({
    transport: myCustomTransportInstance,
  })

• If you want to get built-in transport that is already set-up with default configuration you can use factories createBrowserTransport or createCliTransport to get transport instance (this factory does not take any arguments). This is useful if you still want to use cplus logging but you may wish to capture or modify the incoming data:

  import { createCliTransport } from 'cplus'
  
  // ...
  
  class CustomTransport {
    constructor() {
      this._cliTransport = createCliTransport()
    }
  
    logMessage(logLevel, ...args) {
      // do my own stuff here
      const cleanData = convertData(args)
  
      this._cliTransport.logMessage(logLevel, cleanData)
    }
  }

• If you want to access built-in transports directly, you can do that. Just import transports object that contains BrowserTransport and CliTransport constructors.

• If you need to switch from built-in transport for Logger (perhaps after initialization or right after installing cplus), you can do so by calling setTransport:

import cplus from 'cplus'

cplus.install({
  untouchedLogLevels: [cplus.LogLevels.ERROR, cplus.LogLevels.TRACE],
})

// after the installation phase, instance of logger will be avaible in browser
// like this
const logger = window.console.logger

// create your own instance of custom transport
const customTransport = new CustomTransport()

// switch from built-in transport to your custom one
logger.setTransport(customTransport)

Usage

import cplus from 'cplus'

// Plain/default installation:
cplus.install()

// Custom installation:
cplus.install({
  /* options */
})
