TaLog

A frontend logger for Tauri applications, designed to log critical actions and store them locally for easy debugging and analysis.

🛠️ Configuration: Set Your Scopes

For the default directory name option:

Define the scopes in your Tauri configuration in the following manner:

"tauri": {
  "allowlist": {
    "fs": {
      "createDir": true,
      "writeFile": true,
      "scope": [
        "$DOCUMENT/YOUR_APP_NAME/logs"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Substitue YOUR_APP_NAME with the name found in your tauri config

"package": {
    "productName": "test-app", //<--
    ///
  },

For a custom directory name:

"scope": ["$DOCUMENT/CUSTOM_DIRNAME/logs"]

Where CUSTOM_DIRNAME is the name of the directory you want to use. Use the directory name that you specify here and pass it to the customDirName option as described below.

📝 Usage: Log Actions As Required

Logging actions: Utilize the log, warning, or error methods in the TauriLogger class to log significant events within your critical functions or actions:

function criticalFunction() {
  try {
    taLog.log("critical function success");
  } catch (e) {
    taLog.error("Crashed: " + e);
  }
}

Initialize the logger:

First import taLog from the npm package. Then invoke the initializeLogger method with appropriate options:

taLog.initializeLogger({
  reportErrors: true,
  customDirName: "myCustomDir",
  diagnosticReport: true,
  consoleLog: true
});

⚙️ Options

Frontend error logging:

By default, errors are automatically logged. However, you can set the reportErrors option to false if you wish to disable automatic error logging.

Diagnostic report:

The logger provides a diagnostic report by default, which includes the application's name, version, and the utilized Tauri version. This feature can be disabled by setting the diagnosticReport option to false.

Console logging:

By default, logging to the console is disabled. It can be enabled by setting the consoleLog option to true.

Custom directory:

By passing a customDirName option to the initializeLogger method, you can specify a custom directory for your log files.
