angular-logger

Improved logger for AngularJS projects.

Features

• Multiple (and customizable) log levels.
• Log history (up to n records).
• Hooks for error handling.

Usage

Include the angular-logger.js file in your project:

<script src="angular-logger.js"></script>

Make roberthodgen.angular-logger available in your modules, e.g.:

var app = angular.module('myAppOrModule', ['roberthodgen.angular-logger']);

Creating log entries

Log.debug('My debug message here...');

Where debug property of Log should be switched to your defined level.

Accessing history

Log.debug.history

An Array with a given level's history is set as the history property of each level.

Using hooks

var deregisterFn = Log.debug.addHook(function (entry) {
  // Code to handle hook callback...
});

A hook may be added via calling addHook on a given log level. The function will be called every time the level receives a new entry.

Note: deregisterFn is a function that removes the hook. It should be called when the hook is no longer needed. E.g. on a controller's $scope $destroy event:

$scope.$on('$destroy', function () {
  deregisterFn();
  // Other cleanup code...
});

Defining custom log levels

Custom log levels can be defined at the config state using the LogProvider.

app.config(['LogProvider', function (LogProvider) {
  LogProvider.LOG_LEVELS = ['info', 'debug', 'warn', 'error'];
}]);

A working example of defining custom levels can be seen in example/app.js.

A custom log level may also accept an Object in the following form:

{
  name: 'debug',
  hooks: [
    function (entry) {
      // Code to handle entry...
    }
  ]
}

Where the name property is the name associated with the log level and hooks is an Array of callback hook functions.

NOTE: When adding hooks during config no deregister functions are saved or returned!
