🪶 Lightweight (1 runtime dependency)
🏗 Universal: Works in Browsers and Node.js
👮️ Fully typed even with custom Metadata
🗃 Structured logging - JSON-first with built in pretty print transforms
🦸 Plugable transports and transformers
🤓 Stack trace and pretty errors
👨👧👦 Child-logging hierarchies with proper feed-through
In Timbergeist logs are represented by a collection of javascript objects. There is no concept of a format strings or log id etc. Timbergeist is built to be flexible enough that these features can be built on top in a straight forward way.
Once serialised, the object structure could look something like this:
{
"0": { "foo": 0, "bar": { "cee": 5 }},
"1": "Hello logs!",
"_meta": {
"__tgLogFormatVersion": 1,
"logLevelId": 3,
"logLevelName": "INFO",
...
}
}import { Logger } from "@soundboks/timbergeist"
const RootLogger = new Logger()
RootLogger.info("Hello World")In this example we submit JSON logs to a HTTP endpoint and still pretty print logs to the console. We also make sure to submit all log levels via HTTP, but only print level 3 or higher to the console to avoid clutter.
import { ConsoleSink, Logger, PrettyPrinterTransport } from "@soundboks/timbergeist";
const LOG_LEVEL_INFO = 3;
const LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG = 2;
// our "hidden" logger which is actually responsible for printing
const _RootLogger = new Logger(
{
minLevel: process.env["NODE_ENV"] === "production" ? LOG_LEVEL_INFO : LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG,
},
[
new PrettyPrinterTransport(ConsoleSink, {
prettyLogTemplate: "{{hh}}:{{MM}}:{{ss}}:{{ms}} {{logLevelName}} {{name}} ",
}),
]
);
// our exported Root Logger, which has a lower minLevel than our hidden logger
export const RootLogger = _RootLogger.getSubLogger({
minLevel: 0,
});
RootLogger.attachTransport({
transport(logArgs, meta) {
const message = {
...logArgs,
_meta: meta,
}
// In a real application you should use a batching mechanism of some sort
fetch("https://api.foobar.com/logs/intake", {
Body: JSON.stringify(message)
})
}
});import { ConsoleSink, PrettyPrinterTransport } from "@soundboks/tslog"
const printer = new PrettyPrinterTransport(ConsoleSink, {
prettyLogTemplate: "{{hh}}:{{MM}}:{{ss}}:{{ms}} {{logLevelName}} {{name}} ",
});
const log = MY_LOGS[0] // one log object in timbergeist format
const collectedArgs: unknown[] = []
for (let i = 0; Object.keys(log).includes(i.toString()); i++) {
collectedArgs.push(log[i])
}
printer.transport(collectedArgs, log._meta)- Masking as a feature has been removed entirely
Timbergeist started out as a internal fork of Tslog.
