@webgap/logger v0.2.0

WebGAP Logger

README

This is the base logger module for WebGAP. It hijacks' all the console log methods and redirects them to winston log file.

Dependencies

Handles logging using winston. Loads default configuration using @webgap/configuration

API

Installation

npm install @webgap/logger --save

Usage

var logger = require('@webgap/logger').init();
...
// or overriding with options
...
var options = {
  applicationLogPath: '/tmp/application.log',
  applicationExceptionsLogPath: '/tmp/exceptions.log',
  level: 'debug'
};
var logger = require('@webgap/logger').init(options);
...
logger.info('info message');
logger.debug('debug message');
logger.error('error message');
logger.warn('warning message');
...
// it hijacks' all the console functions and adds a debug one
// this allows a consistent logging with console in every module
// and ensures all output ends up in the log files
console.log('info message');
console.info('info message');
console.error('error message');
console.warn('warning message');
console.debug('debug message');

Options

The object 'options' is optional and can be passed into the 'Logger' class:

var options = {
    applicationLogPath: '/tmp/application.log', //absolute path and file name
    applicationExceptionsLogPath: '/tmp/exceptions.log', //absolute path and file name
    level: 'debug' // one of ["debug", "info", "warn", "error"],
    overrideConsole: false // defaults to true
};
var logger = require('@webgap/logger').init(options);

If no 'options' is provided, the module will try to load default configurations from @webgap/configuration module.

Default configurations for this module are as follows:

GENERAL.LOG.FILE - Defaults to '/tmp/application.log'
GENERAL.LOG.EXCEPTIONS_FILE - Defaults to '/tmp/application-exceptions.log'
GENERAL.LOG.LEVEL - Defaults to 'info'
