DRPG Logger

Pretty logging for Discord.JS

What is DRPG Logger?

DRPG Logger is an advanced console and channel logging package for bots created with Discord.JS. With this package, you can quickly print nicely formatted logs to your console, as well as to any discord Channel.

On top of formatting the logs, any Discord User, Member, or Channel will also be displayed in the console in a nice and easy to read manner (including display name and ID). This is done by default when a User, GuildMember, or Channel is supplied - which when included in a string forms a pattern such as <@12345678912345678>.

NOTE Currently, this package only supports a single log channel. If your bot is a multi-guild bot (as most are), a log channel per guild is currently not supported.

Install

Run npm install drpg-logger

Usage

1. Import the module

import { Logger, LogLevel } from "drpg-logger";

2. Provide your config in the constructor and access desired functions

import { Client } from "discord.js";
import { Logger, LogLevel } from "drpg-logger";

const client = new Client({}); // However you are creating your discord Client - this is up to you

const logChannelId = process.env.LOG_CHANNEL_ID; // However you decide to provide the log channel. Suggested via environment variables.
const logger = new Logger(client, { defaultLogChannel: logChannelId, dateDisplayTimezone: "+1000" });

client.once("ready", () => {
	logger.info("Bot has started!", "Bot Running");
});

client.login(token);

3. Once initialized, you can use Logger to access all of it's static methods.

client.on('interactionCreate', interaction => {
    Logger.debug(`${interaction.user} did some interaction in ${interaction.channel}`,"Interaction", interaction.message);
});

Suggestions

• For easy and repeated use, it is suggested that your instance of logger is exported, so that you can use the same instance throughout.
• This package makes heavy use of the colorette library. You can use this library with the content properties, to further enhance the display of your logs.

Default Log Types

By default, a number of log types are included. All of these can be quickly used by calling Logger.trace, Logger.info, Logger.warn and so on.

• trace (Priority 10)
