demo output of better-logging in action

Out of the box Javascript comes five different standardized logging types. However, as it stands only browsers are taking advantage of these different methods of logging. better-logging aims to improve the default logging experience of any node application, it is designed to be a drop in replacement for the default logging methods. Since better-logging only decorates the default logging methods you won't lose any functionality provided by other tooling. better-logging is not meant to be the be all and end all of node.js logging. It is just supposed to increase the usefulness of the default logging methods.

Install: npm i better-logging

// Default in node.js
console.debug('foo'); //  foo
console.log('foo'); //    foo
console.info('foo'); //   foo
console.warn('foo'); //   foo
console.error('foo'); //  foo

// With better-logging
require('better-logging')(console);

console.debug('foo'); //  [11:46:35.294] [debug] foo
console.log('foo'); //    [11:46:35.296] [log] foo
console.info('foo'); //   [11:46:35.296] [info] foo
console.warn('foo'); //   [11:46:35.298] [warn] foo
console.error('foo'); //  [11:46:35.298] [error] foo
console.line('foo'); //   foo
