Log-Ng

Provides both a node.js and a browser logger, inspired by loggers like log4j and Winston (The node.js logger uses Winston under the hood).

Browser Logger

The browser logger was inspired by Winston, and aims to provide configurable log levels, allowing logging to be left in place without needing to modify the code to enable or disable logging. It uses ConsoleTransport by default, but also comes with APITransport for sending logs to a server and FileTransport for saving logs to a file (requires support for the File System API).

Example

ConsoleTransport (default)

import { Logger } from 'log-ng';
const logger = new Logger('thisFile');
Logger.setLevel('info');
logger.info('Hello, World!');

APITransport

import { Logger, APITransport } from 'log-ng';
Logger.setLevel('info');
Logger.addTransport('api', new APITransport({
	url: 'http://localhost:3000/log',
	method: 'POST',
	headers: {
		'Content-Type': 'application/json'
	},
	body: {
		msg: '{{msg}}',
		level: '{{level}}',
		category: '{{category}}',
		timestamp: '{{timestamp}}',
		group: '{{group}}',
		isTable: '{{isTable}}',
		args: '{{args}}'
	}
}));
const logger = new Logger('thisFile');
logger.info('Hello, World!');

FileTransport

import { Logger, FileTransport } from 'log-ng';
Logger.setLevel('info');
const fileTransport = new FileTransport({});
await fileTransport.initialize();
Logger.addTransport('file', fileTransport);
const logger = new Logger('thisFile');
logger.info('Hello, World!');

Node.js Logger

The node.js logger is a wrapper around Winston, and provides a simple way to log messages to the console. Additional Winston transports can be added, as needed. The primary purpose of this Logger is to simplify creation of pre-configured Winston child instances of the main singleton instance.

Example

Basic Usage

const { Logger } = require('log-ng');
const logger = new Logger(path.basename(__filename));
logger.info('Hello, World!');

Adding Transports

const { Logger } = require('log-ng');
const { File } = require('winston').transports;
Logger.addTransport('file', new File({ filename: 'log.log' }));
const logger = new Logger(path.basename(__filename));
logger.info('Hello, World!');

TODO

• Implement table and group rendering in the API and File transports
• Implement console placeholder for API and File transports
• Implement escaping of {{ and }} in interpolate function
