Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

log4js-memory-appender

A simple memory appender for log4js. It stores log events in an array - good for keeping a buffer of tail logs to output on a diagnostics page. The latest version has been modified to support Log4js version 6 and above. Please note, from version 6 all appenders need to be defined in config and cannot be progammatically instantiated and configured. Because of this, log4js-memory-appender can no longer be passed a buffer to use and can only use its own internal array as a buffer.

  • log4js-memory-appender v1.0.5 - works with Log4js versions below v2.0.0
  • log4js-memory-appender v6.0.0 and above - designed to work with Log4js v6.4.0 and above
  • see log4js-in-memory-appender by @nivek for a version that works with Log4js v2.0.0

Install

npm install log4js-memory-appender

Usage

Version 6.0.0 and above

Config


"log4js" : {
    "level": "ALL",
    "appenders" : {
        "console" : { "type": "console", "timezoneOffset": 0 },
        "file" : { "type": "file", "filename": "logs/gallop.log", "maxLogSize": 1024000, "timezoneOffset": 0, "backups": 50 },
        "memory" : { "type": "log4js-memory-appender", "maxBufferSize": 100, "timezoneOffset": 0 }
    },
    "categories" :  {
        "default": { "appenders": ["console", "file", "memory"], "level": "ALL" }
    }
}

Initialisation and Usage


var log4js = require('log4js');
var memAppender = require('log4js-memory-appender');

var log4jsLogger = null;    
log4js.configure(config.log4js);
logger = log4js.getLogger("App Name");
// set the initial level, as newer versions of log4js are set to OFF by default
log4jsLogger.level = gallopConfig.log4js.level;
logger.trace('trace');
logger.debug('debug');
logger.info('info');
logger.warn('warn');
var error = new Error('test');
error.code = 'fatal';
logger.error(error);
logger.fatal('fatal');
logger.mark('mark');

// set the buffer size later instead of configuration via an exported function on the appender definition
memAppender.setMaxBufferSize(1000);

// access the buffer by a function exported on the appender definition
console.log(memAppender.getBuffer());

// flush the buffer using a function exported on the appender definition
console.log(memAppender.flushBuffer());

Version 1.0.5 and below

Initialisation and Usage


var log4js = require('log4js');
var appender = require('log4js-memory-appender');

var buffer = [];
var maxBufferSize = 100;
log4js.loadAppender('memory', appender({ buffer : buffer, maxBufferSize : maxBufferSize }));
log4js.addAppender(log4js.appenders.memory());

var logger = log4js.getLogger();

logger.trace('trace');
logger.debug('debug');
logger.info('info');
logger.warn('warn');
var error = new Error('test');
error.code = 'fatal';
logger.error(error);
logger.fatal('fatal');
logger.mark('mark');

console.log(buffer);

// OR

var log4js = require('log4js');
var appender = require('log4js-memory-appender');

var memAppender = appender({ maxBufferSize : 1000 });

log4js.loadAppender('memory', memAppender);
log4js.addAppender(log4js.appenders.memory());

var logger = log4js.getLogger();

logger.trace('trace');
logger.debug('debug');
logger.info('info');
logger.warn('warn');
var error = new Error('test');
error.code = 'fatal';
logger.error(error);
logger.fatal('fatal');
logger.mark('mark');

console.log(memAppender.getBuffer());

console.log("Flushing the buffer.");
memAppender.flushBuffer();
console.log(memAppender.getBuffer());
