Winston Multi-Line Console Transport

Let's say we wanted to log something like this to Winston:

logger.debug('This is a multi-line:\nlog message.');

By default, we would get output like this:

debug: This is a multi-line:
log message.

Lines 2-N will not be aligned correctly, making things harder to read. This can be especially obnoxious when logging stack traces or serialized JSON structures.

Using this package instead of the built-in Console transport gives you output like this:

debug: This is a multi-line:
debug: log message.

Install

Note: This package requires Winston 3.x.

$ npm i @collectivehealth/winston-multi-line-console-transport

Use

import winston from 'winston';
import MultiLineConsoleTransport from '@collectivehealth/winston-multi-line-console-transport';


const logger = winston.createLogger({
  // Logger options.
});


logger.add(new MultiLineConsoleTransport({
  level: 'debug'
  format: winston.format.combine(
    winston.format.prettyPrint(),
    winston.format.colorize(),
    winston.format.simple()
  )
}));
