cute-logger

Simple way to log messages in stdout or other stream.

:cloud: Installation

# Using npm
npm install --save cute-logger

# Using yarn
yarn add cute-logger

:clipboard: Example

const Logger = require("cute-logger")

// Set log level
Logger.config.level = 4

// Test defaults
Logger
  .log("A fancy error message", "error")
  .log("Info messages are useful", "info")
  .log("Hey, you've got a warning", "warn")


// Don't show date
Logger.config.date = false
Logger.log("Display date is disabled.", "info")

// Custom type
Logger.config.myType = {
    color: [0, 255, 200]
  , text: "custom"
}

Logger.log("This is a custom message type", "myType")
Logger.log(new Error("Some error"))
Logger.log("Some interesting message")

// The built-in methods can be accessed like this, too:
Logger.error("This is an error.")
Logger.info("This is an info message.")
Logger.warn("This is a warning.")
Logger.log("This is a log message.")

// Logging objects works nicely too:
Logger.log({
    name: {
        name: "Johnny",
        last: "B"
    }
})

:sparkling_heart: Support my projects

I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply to everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).

However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:

• Starring and sharing the projects you like :rocket:

• —I love books! I will remember you after years if you buy me one. :grin: :book:

• —You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a ~~coffee~~ tea. :tea:

• —Set up a recurring monthly donation and you will get interesting news about what I'm doing (things that I don't share with everyone).

• Bitcoin—You can send me bitcoins at this address (or scanning the code below): 1P9BRsmazNQcuyTxEqveUsnf5CERdq35V6

  

Thanks! :heart:

:dizzy: Where is this library used?
