Usage

here are some examples and images

Base code

as usual make sure to, make the transport and require winston (and your other modules) and create the logger

const winston = require('winston');
const discordTransport = require('@typicalninja21/discord-winston');

const logger = winston.createLogger({
'transports': [
        new winston.transports.File({
            filename: `logs/new.log`,
        }),
        new winston.transports.Console(),
        new discordTransport({
            id: '78948458726857225', // example id
            token: 'dBwb4zNZGGUBgSkaqqWOHULVc_st6LJTvjLgvCIc__A7bW2jwMfunh8R6zR5dllao', // example token
          }),
    ],
    // ... rest of your code
});

For all of the below examples, logger is what that is defined above

Basic logging

logger.warn('testing')
logger.error('testing')
logger.info('hey')

Image

Log with Error stack trace

logger.error('A Error occurred', { error: new Error() })

Image

error value can be replaced with a error variable from a try-catch or a catch

Do not log to discord

logger.error(`A Error occurred, ${err}`, {
    postToDiscord: false,
})

Changing the color of embed

See the default value for colors above

const winston = require('winston');
const discordTransport = require('@typicalninja21/discord-winston');

const logger = winston.createLogger({
'transports': [
        new winston.transports.File({
            filename: `logs/new.log`,
        }),
        new winston.transports.Console(),
        new discordTransport({
            id: '78948458726857225', // example id
            token: 'dBwb4zNZGGUBgSkaqqWOHULVc_st6LJTvjLgvCIc__A7bW2jwMfunh8R6zR5dllao', // example token
            colors: {
                warn: 10001011 //#8b0000
            },      
          }),
    ],
    // ... rest of your code
});


logger.warn('warn')
