log5 - Simple logging utility.

Provides a 5-level logging facility with timestamps.

The levels are: 1 = ERRORS, 2 = WARNINGS, 3 = INFO, 4 = VERBOSE, and 5 = DEBUG

Install

npm install log5

Simple Examples

// call by level type initial (E, W, I, V, D)
log = require("log5");	// log is a default logger function set to level 3
log.E("Error");			// writes "Error" to console
log.I("Info");			// writes "Info" to console
log.V("Verbose");		// doesn't write anything.
log(4);					// change log level to 4
log.V("Verbose");		// writes "Verbose" to console

// Usage by number
log(2, "Warn");			// writes "Warn" to console
log(4, "Verbose");		// writes "Verbose" to console
log(5, "Debug");		// doesn't write anything.

Loggers with prefix

log_foo = require("log5")("Foo: ");
log_foo.I("Info");			// writes "Foo: Info" to console

Use with "g"

If you combine the "log5" module with the "g" module, you can do this, to globalize the log5 functions and set a log level of 1

require("g")("log5")(1);
E("this prints");
W("this doesn't");
