Log4JS

Simple logging for JavaScript

Examples

Some examples on how to use Log4JS All output is colored in use, but not here. :(

Basic logging

// import the Logger class from Log4JS
const { Logger } = require('@tehcn/log4js'); 

// create a new logger named main
const logger = new Logger('main'); 

// log something to the console
logger.log("Hello, Log4JS!");

Output (not colored):

[main/INFO] Hello, Log4JS!

Logging with default level

// import the Logger class from Log4JS
const { Logger } = require('@tehcn/log4js'); 

// create a new logger named main with a default of debug
const logger = new Logger('main', 'debug'); 

// log something to the console
logger.log("Hello, Log4JS!");

Output:

[main/DEBUG] Hello, Log4JS!

Logging with multiple threads

or something that will use a logger with the same name (threads for example)

// import the Logger class from Log4JS
const { Logger } = require('@tehcn/log4js'); 

// a function to represent a thread
function thread() {
    // Log4JS automatically handles this
    const logger = new Logger('thread');

    logger.log("test");
}

thread();
thread();
thread();

Output:

[multithreadTestLogger/INFO] multithreadTestLogger
[multithreadTestLogger/INFO #1] multithreadTestLogger
[multithreadTestLogger/INFO #2] multithreadTestLogger

Custom Styles

Here's an example that makes a red bold text:

const { Logger, Style } = require('@tehcn/log4js');

Logger.printc('Hello, World!', Style.FOREGROUND_LIGHT_RED + Style.BOLD);

Documentation

All of the methods/function follow Typescript type notation.

Using the Logger class the following instance and static methods become available:

• log(msg: string | number): void
• info(msg: string | number): void
• debug(msg: string | number): void
• warn(msg: string | number): void
• error(msg: string | number): void
• static printc(msg: string | number, style: Style | string) : void
• static getID(): number

There is also the static method getLevelColor(level: LoggerLevel): string which takes in a LoggerLevel

The available LoggerLevels are:

• info
• debug
• warn
• error

Note: log logs at a level of info by default.
