The loggy from yeenbean

loggy's Introduction

A simple console logging library for deno. Like...really simple.

This repository exists to allow me to learn how to make modules with deno. I do not expect anyone to use it but if you do...let me know!

Preview

Usage

Quickstart

Simply import the module.

import * as loggy from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/main.ts";

loggy by example

The code below...

import * as loggy from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/main.ts";

loggy.log("This is a standard log message.");
loggy.success("And this is a log message with a success status message.");
loggy.fail("Uh oh, something failed here.");
loggy.critical("Oops, a critical task failed!");
loggy.info("Loggy makes it easy to communicate events to developers.");
loggy.info("By utilizing the different status types loggy includes, you can");
loggy.info("make your important messages stand out without compromising log output.");

...will create this output!

loggy's Issues

Shorten status indicators to leave more room for logged messages

At the moment, status messages take up 7 characters of console width. This is a lot, especially if a console's width is limited to 80 characters. Think of the embedded devices!

I propose we shorten status messages to save space and improve visual clarity. Here are some examples of what I have in mind:

[+] Positive change.
[-] Negative change.
[ ] Generic log message.
    Alternative generic log message (notice how there's no status but message is still aligned).
[!] Critical event.
[i] Informational message.
[E] Error.

*Note that timestamps have been omitted in the examples above.

Add debug log type

Can have status of DBG and all text can be gray so that typical log output stands out from the debug output.

This will require making a decision. Either I can make an optional parameter for logging functions to enable/disable time output, or restructure the module as a class with a constructor to define options during initialization... 🤔
