A small library providing utility methods to log messages into console.

npm install imed-logger --save

const {
	error,
	warn,
	info,
	verbose,
	debug,
	silly,
	assert,
	inspect
} = require('imed-logger'); // => levels: info, debug, warn, error

const {
	error,
	warn
} = require('imed-logger').level('warn'); // => levels: warn, error

To disable a method for a module some function use the silent function, e.g.:

const {
	silent: info,
	debug,
	silent: warn
} = require('imed-logger'); // => will log on debug() but not on info() nor on warn()

info('this message will not be log because silent is used');
debug('this message will be logged as a debug message');
warn('this message will not be log because silent is used');

Levels order is :

error > warn > info > verbose > debug > silly

Default level is info. You can change level on runtime with:

logger.level('warn'); // => only warn and error will then actually log to console.

or get the current level with:

logger.level(); // => 'warn'

To change default colors, call setTheme with one or more levels colorization

logger.setTheme({
	error: ["white", "bold", "bgRed"],
	warn: ["yellow", "bold"],
	info: ["cyan", "bold"],
	verbose: ["blue", "bold"],
	debug: "magenta",
	silly: "rainbow"
};

For instance,

logger.setTheme({'silly': ['white', 'bold', 'bgBlue']});
logger.silly("a silly message");

results in :

[silly] 2019-6-20 12:01:04 a silly message

For more information on text and background colors, styles and extras, see https://github.com/Marak/colors.js.

To disable colors you can pass the following arguments in the command line to your application:

node myapp.js --no-color

npm test

npm run docs

will generate the documentation and open its index.html file. It's a shortcut of:

npm run generate-docs
npm run show-docs

If the index.html file does not show in your browser, edit package.json file and see if version number should be updated in scripts["show-docs"], or open file in ./docs/imed-logger/<version>/index.html (e.g. ./docs/imed-logger/0.1.3/index.html).

No formal styleguide imposed, just take care to maintain the existing coding style.

• Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality.
• Lint and test your code.
• Take special care to comment your code with JSDoc3, see jsdoc.app.
