speechvillage-logger

A simple logging system built on top of Winston

Installation

Just run:

$ npm install speechvillage-logger

Then create a logs directory in the root folder where application starts.

The Loggers

There are 2 kinds of loggers you can choose from:

• defaultLogger - a Winston based logger that logs on console and on logs/application.date.log based on Winston daily rotation file transport;
• nullLogger - a null logger that send all your logs to dev/null, useful to disable logs during the tests.

Moreover, you can access the underlying winston logger by accessing the logger field of the default logger.

Additional functions

• logError(err, msg) - where err is an error and msg is a custom message, will log on error stream a message like this: msg - err.name: err.message

Examples

var defaultLogger = require('speechvillage-logger').defaultLogger;
var nullLogger = require('speechvillage-logger').nullLogger;

nullLogger.info('this will not log anything');
defaultLogger.info('this will logs both on console and on file');

// You can access the underlying winston logger
defaultLogger.logger.warn('hello, this is Winston!');

var err = new Error('the error message');
defaultLogger.logError(err, 'A custom message');
// Will print on error: 'A custom message - Error: the error message'
