Usages

Basic Logging

Loglow enables you to log messages to the console using the add method followed by the print method.

new Loglow().add('Hello, world!').print();
// Output: Hello, world!

Adding Colors and Styles

Loglow allows you to add different colors and styles to your log messages.

new Loglow()
    .add(LogColor.Red, 'Error: Something went wrong.')
    .print();
// Output: Error: Something went wrong. <-- (in red)

Also, Loglow supports multiple colors and styles for a single message.

new Loglow()
    .add(LogColor.Red, LogStyle.Bold, 'Error: Something went wrong.')
    .print();
// Output: Error: Something went wrong. <-- (in bold red)

Adding Timestamps

Loglow can automatically add timestamps to your log messages using the addTimestamp method.

new Loglow()
    .addTimestamp()
    .add('Hello, world!')
    .print();
// Output: 2021-01-01T12:00:00Z Hello, world!

Loglow also allows you tou customize the timestamp color or style.

new Loglow()
    .addTimestamp(LogColor.Cyan)
    .print();
// Output: 2021-01-01T12:00:00Z <-- (in cyan)

Adding New Lines

Loglow provides the addNewLine method to add new lines to your log messages.

new Loglow()
    .add('First line.')
    .addNewLine()
    .add('Second line.')
    .print();
// Output: First line.
//         Second line.

Chaining Methods

Loglow methods can be chained together to create complex log messages.

new Loglow()
    .addTimestamp()
    .add(LogColor.Green, 'Success: Operation completed.')
    .addNewLine()
    .add(LogColor.Blue, LogStyle.Reverse, 'Details: ')
    .addNewline()
    .add('- Item 1')
    .addNewLine()
    .add('- Item 2')
    .print();
// Output: 2021-01-01T12:00:00Z Success: Operation completed. <-- (in green)
//         Details: <-- (in reverse blue)
//         - Item 1
