Configuration

The logger can be configured using a JSON file(Optional). Fields are also optionals. Create a j-logger.config.json file with the following structure:

{
  "color": "White",
  "backgroundColor": "Black",
  "saveLog": true,
  "logPath": "/log/j-logger.log",
  "textFormat": ["Bold", "Underline"],
  "stylizedMode": true
}

Available methods

• getLogTypes() => get all available middleware log formats
• TextColors() => available text colors
• BgColors() => available background colors
• BrightColors() => available bright text colors
• FormattingOptions() => available text formatting options

Available Properties

• SavePath(path_string)
• TextColor(color_string)
• BackgroundColor(color_string)
• TextFormat(formats_string_array)
• SaveLog(boolean) >>> This takes j-logger.log as default path if not configured.

Usage

// Import the JLogger class and other required modules
import { JLogger, requestLogger } from "@nabinsaru/j-logger";
// or
const { JLogger, requestLogger } = require("@nabinsaru/j-logger");


// Set custom log styles
JLogger.TextColor = "White";
JLogger.BackgroundColor = "Black";
JLogger.TextFormat = ["Bold", "Underline"];
JLogger.StylizedMode = true;

// Use the logger
JLogger.log("This is a log message.");
JLogger.info("This is an info message.");
JLogger.error("This is an error message.");
JLogger.warn("This is a warning message.");
JLogger.debug("This is a debug message.");

// Use requestLogger middleware
app.use(requestLogger("REQUEST"));

// Log types
const logTypes = JLogger.getLogTypes();
console.log("Available log types:", logTypes);

Middleware Usage

The requestLogger middleware can be used to log HTTP request details.

const express = require("express");
const { requestLogger } = require("@nabinsaru/j-logger");

const app = express();

// Use requestLogger middleware for logging requests
// Provide log format type
app.use(requestLogger("common"));

// Your routes and other middleware...

// Start the server
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Server is running on port ${PORT}`);
});

Request logger supports 4 distinct log types.
