@dynamicabot/signales NPM

History

Initially Signales was forked form signale and then later from signale in order to solve issue with logging levels. It was solved via #105 MR merged in main codebase of Signales repository.

Besides that Signales:

Was rewritten in Typescript entirely, so Signales typings are generated by the compiler, not written by hand. This gives 100% consistency between the types and the actual runtime.
New methods: child, clone.
New options: scopeFormatter.
stderr stream by default instead of stdout.

Incompatible behaviors in signales in compare of signale

You can't require directly signales instance in commonjs module. Code below DOESN'T work:

const signale = require("signales"); // not ok

signale.error(`doesn't work`);

Instead, use ES imports or named imports:

const { signales } = require("signales"); // ok
const { signale } = require("signale"); // same as above

import signales from "signales"; // ok
import { Signales } from "signales"; // ok
import { Signale } from "signales"; // same as above

Description

Hackable and configurable to the core, signales can be used for logging purposes, status reporting, as well as for handling the output rendering process of other node modules and applications.

pause
pending
star
start
success
wait

signale.debug("Hello", "from", "L59");
signale.pending("Write release notes for %s", "1.2.0");
signale.fatal(new Error("Unable to acquire lock"));
signale.watch("Recursively watching build directory...");
signale.complete({
  prefix: "[task]",
  message: "Fix issue #59",
  suffix: "(@klauscfhq)",
});

Custom Loggers

To create a custom logger define an options object yielding a types field with the logger data and pass it as argument to a new signale instance.

const { Signale } = require("signales");

const options = {
  disabled: false,
  interactive: false,
  logLevel: "debug",
  scope: "custom",
  secrets: [],
  stream: process.stdout,
  types: {
    remind: {
      badge: "**",
      color: "yellow",
      label: "reminder",
      logLevel: "info",
    },
    santa: {
      badge: "🎅",
      color: "red",
      label: "santa",
      logLevel: "info",
    },
  },
};

const custom = new Signale(options);
custom.remind("Improve documentation.");
custom.santa("Hoho! You have an unused variable on L45.");

Here is an example where we override the default error and success loggers.

const { Signale } = require("signales");

const options = {
  types: {
    error: {
      badge: "!!",
      label: "fatal error",
    },
    success: {
      badge: "++",
      label: "huge success",
    },
  },
};

const signale = new Signale();
signale.error("Default Error Log");
signale.success("Default Success Log");

const custom = new Signale(options);
custom.error("Custom Error Log");
custom.success("Custom Success Log");

The options object can hold any of the following attributes: disabled, interactive, logLevels, logLevel, secrets, stream, scope and types.

`disabled`

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Disables the logging functionality of all loggers belonging to the created instance.

`interactive`

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Switches all loggers belonging to the created instance into the interactive mode.

`logLevel`

Type: String
Default: 'debug'

Sets the general logging level of the created instance. Can be one of the following:

'debug' - Displays all messages from all loggers.
'info' - Displays messages from all loggers except debug level.
'timer' - Displays messages only from the time, timeEnd, warn, error & fatal loggers.
'warn' - Displays messages only from the warn, error & fatal loggers.
'error' - Displays messages only from the error & fatal loggers.

`logLevels`

Type: Object

Allows you to add or override log levels.

For example, a value of { silly: -1 } will add a level of silly, which will have even lower priority than debug.

Default log levels are:

{
  debug: 0,
  info: 1,
  timer: 2,
  warn: 3,
  error: 4,
}

`secrets`

Type: (String|Number)[]
Default: []

An array holding secrets/sensitive-information to be removed from the body and metadata of to-be-logged messages and replaced with the default '[secure]' string.

`stream`

Type: stream.Writable|stream.Writable[]
Default: process.stderr

Destination to which the data is written, can be a single valid Writable stream or an array holding multiple valid Writable streams.

`scope`

Type: String|String[]

Name of the scope the logger is reporting from.

`scopeFormatter`

Type: (scopePath: string[]) => string

Formats array of scope to display representation.

`types`

Type:

Record<T, {
  badge: string,
  color: ChalkColor | '',
  label: string,
  logLevel?: LogLevel,
  stream?: WritableStream | WritableStream[],
}>

Holds the configuration of the custom and default loggers.

Additionally, the configuration object of each custom/default logger type, defined in the types option, can hold any of the following attributes: badge, label, color, logLevel & stream.

`badge`

Type: String

The icon corresponding to the logger.

`label`

Type: String

The label used to identify the type of the logger.

`color`

Type: String

The color of the label, can be any of the foreground colors supported by chalk.

`logLevel`

Type: String
Default: 'debug'

The log level corresponding to the logger. Messages originating from the logger are displayed only if the log level is greater or equal to the above described general logging level logLevel of the Signale instance.

`stream`

Type: stream.Writable|stream.Writable[]
Default: process.stderr

Destination to which the data is written, can be a single valid Writable stream or an array holding multiple valid Writable streams.

Scoped Loggers

To create a scoped logger from scratch, define the scope field inside the options object and pass it as argument to a new signale instance.

const { Signale } = require("signales");

const options = {
  scope: "global scope",
};

const global = new Signale(options);
global.success("Successful Operation");

To create a scoped logger based on an already existing one, use the scope() function, which will return a new signale instance, inheriting all custom loggers, timers, secrets, streams, configuration, log level, interactive mode & disabled statuses from the initial one.

const { signale } = require("signales");

const global = signale.scope("global scope");
global.success("Hello from the global scope");

function foo() {
  const outer = global.scope("outer", "scope");
  outer.success("Hello from the outer scope");

  setTimeout(() => {
    const inner = outer.scope("inner", "scope");
    inner.success("Hello from the inner scope");
  }, 500);
}

foo();

Child loggers

You can also create a new child logger which will have a parent scope and a passed one.

const { signale } = require('signales');

const systemLogger = signale.scope('system')
systemLogger.success('Hello from system logger')

> [system] › ✔  success   Hello from system logger

const childLogger = systemLogger.child('net')
childLogger.success('Hello from child logger')

> [system::net] › ✔  success   Hello from child logger

Interactive Loggers

To initialize an interactive logger, create a new signale instance with the interactive attribute set to true. While into the interactive mode, previously logged messages originating from an interactive logger, will be overridden only by new ones originating from the same or a different interactive logger. Note that regular messages originating from regular loggers are not overridden by the interactive ones.

const { Signale } = require("signales");

const interactive = new Signale({ interactive: true, scope: "interactive" });

interactive.await("[%d/4] - Process A", 1);

setTimeout(() => {
  interactive.success("[%d/4] - Process A", 2);
  setTimeout(() => {
    interactive.await("[%d/4] - Process B", 3);
    setTimeout(() => {
      interactive.error("[%d/4] - Process B", 4);
      setTimeout(() => {}, 1000);
    }, 1000);
  }, 1000);
}, 1000);

Writable Streams

By default, all signale instances log their messages to the process.stderr stream. This can be modified, to match your own preference, through the stream property, where you can define a single or multiple valid Writable streams, which will be used by all logger types to log your data. Additionally, it is possible to define one or more Writable streams exclusively for a specific logger type, thus write data independently from the rest logger types.

const { Signale } = require("signales");

const options = {
  stream: process.stderr, // All loggers will now write to `process.stderr`
  types: {
    error: {
      // Only `error` will write to both `process.stdout` & `process.stderr`
      stream: [process.stdout, process.stderr],
    },
  },
};

const signale = new Signale(options);
signale.success("Message will appear on `process.stderr`");
signale.error(
  "Message will appear on both `process.stdout` & `process.stderr`"
);

Secrets Filtering

By utilizing the secrets option, secrets and other sensitive information can be filtered out from the body as well as the metadata, i.e. scope names etc, of to-be-logged messages. The option is part of the configuration object passed to a Signale instance on its initialization, and is of type Array<String|Number>. The array can hold multiple secrets, all of which are removed, if present, from the to-be-logged messages and are replaced with the default '[secure]' string. Additionally, when the unary signale.scope(name) function is used, the returned Signale instance inherits all the secrets belonging to its parent. The secrets checking process is performed in a case-sensitive manner. Also, the unary signale.addSecrets() and the nullary signale.clearSecrets() functions are available through the API for adding and clearing secrets respectively.

It is critical and highly recommended to not type directly secrets in your code, thus the following example serves only as a simple & easily reproducible usage demonstration.

const { Signale } = require("signales");

// In reality secrets could be securely fetched/decrypted through a dedicated API
const [USERNAME, TOKEN] = ["klaussinani", "token"];

const logger1 = new Signale({
  secrets: [USERNAME, TOKEN],
});

logger1.log("$ exporting USERNAME=%s", USERNAME);
logger1.log("$ exporting TOKEN=%s", TOKEN);

// `logger2` inherits all secrets from its parent `logger1`
const logger2 = logger1.scope("parent");

logger2.log("$ exporting USERNAME=%s", USERNAME);
logger2.log("$ exporting TOKEN=%s", TOKEN);

Timers

Timer are managed by the time() and timeEnd() functions. A unique label can be used to identify a timer on initialization, though if none is provided the timer will be assigned one automatically. In addition, calling the timeEnd() function without a specified label will have as effect the termination of the most recently initialized timer, that was created without providing a label.

const { signale } = require("signales");

signale.time("test");
signale.time();
signale.time();

setTimeout(() => {
  signale.timeEnd();
  signale.timeEnd();
  signale.timeEnd("test");
}, 500);

Configuration

Global

To enable global configuration define the options under the signale namespace in your package.json.

The following illustrates all the available options with their respective default values.

{
  "signale": {
    "displayScope": true,
    "displayBadge": true,
    "displayDate": false,
    "displayFilename": false,
    "displayLabel": true,
    "displayTimestamp": false,
    "underlineLabel": true,
    "underlineMessage": false,
    "underlinePrefix": false,
    "underlineSuffix": false,
    "uppercaseLabel": false
  }
}

`displayScope`

Type: Boolean
Default: true

Display the scope name of the logger.

`displayBadge`

Type: Boolean
Default: true

Display the badge of the logger.

`displayDate`

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Display the current local date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

`displayFilename`

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Display the name of the file that the logger is reporting from.

`displayLabel`

Type: Boolean
Default: true

Display the label of the logger.

`displayTimestamp`

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Display the current local time in HH:MM:SS format.

`underlineLabel`

Type: Boolean
Default: true

Underline the logger label.

`underlineMessage`

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Underline the logger message.

`underlinePrefix`

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Underline the logger prefix.

`underlineSuffix`

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Underline the logger suffix.

`uppercaseLabel`

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Display the label of the logger in uppercase.

Local

To enable local configuration call the config() function on your signales instance. Local configurations will always override any pre-existing configuration inherited from package.json.

In the following example, loggers in the foo.js file will run under their own configuration, overriding the package.json one.

// foo.js
const { signale } = require("signales");

// Overrides any existing `package.json` config
signale.config({
  displayFilename: true,
  displayTimestamp: true,
  displayDate: false,
});

signale.success("Hello from the Global scope");

Also, scoped loggers can have their own independent configuration, overriding the one inherited by the parent instance or package.json.

// foo.js
const { signale } = require("signales");

signale.config({
  displayFilename: true,
  displayTimestamp: true,
  displayDate: false,
});

signale.success("Hello from the Global scope");

function foo() {
  // `fooLogger` inherits the config of `signale`
  const fooLogger = signale.scope("foo scope");

  // Overrides both `signale` and `package.json` configs
  fooLogger.config({
    displayFilename: true,
    displayTimestamp: false,
    displayDate: true,
  });

  fooLogger.success("Hello from the Local scope");
}

foo();
