Opinionated logger for production-scale applications.

Installation

Usage

Instantiation

A basic logger can be created simply by calling the Logger constructor:

const logger = new Logger();

The Logger constructor also takes an options object. For example:

const logger = new Logger({
  name: 'my-logger',
  formatter: new ConsoleFormatter(),
});

The options object adheres to the following interface:

interface LoggerOptions {
  formatter?: Formatter;
  name?: string;
}

The name of a logger will be used as it's root scope. A formatter may use this to provide context when outputting a log entry. For example, the ConsoleFormatter will preface each log with its scope, such as:

[my-logger] ℹ info - some log text

A Formatter is simply an object that implements the Formatter interface:

export interface Formatter {
  format(entry: FormatEntry): any;
}

In addition to writing your own formatter, See Formatters below for a list of provided formatters.

Logging

Given the logger above, we can log information to the console using the built-in info, warn, and error functions. For example:

logger.info('Hello, world!');
logger.warn('Something bad might happen');
logger.error(new Error('Operation not permitted.'));
