common-logging v0.0.3-alpha

common-logging

common-logging is a NodeJS module written in TypeScript that provides a simple abstraction to allow you to select and to change logging implementation at runtime.

This module is inspired by net-commons/common.logging https://github.com/net-commons/common-logging.

With no dependency, common-logging provides also a way to reduce coupling between your code and a specific logger implementation.

common-logging provides a console logger by default but it can easily be used with winston, bunyan or any other standard logging framework.

logManager is the shared entry point of common-logging. logManager is the only reference you need to access loggers in your different modules. If you want to change the underlying logging system, you simply have to change the factory used by common-logging by typing a single line of code anywhere you want and that's it ! All your code will continue to work seamlessly using the new logger implementation.

Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/julienhoarau/common-logging.git
cd common-logging

Installing

Simply install common-logging using the npm command.

npm install --save common-logging

Simple usage

Javascript

var logManager = require('common-logging').logManager;
var logger = logManager.getLogger();

logger.info('Hello World !');

Typescript

import { ILog, logManager } from "common-logging";
const logger: ILog = logManager.getLogger();

logger.info("Hello World !");

Advanced usage

Javascript usage with winston

var winstonLogger = require('winston');
var createDefaultILogFactory = require('common-logging').createDefaultILogFactory;
var logManager = require('common-logging').logManager;
logManager.factory = createDefaultILogFactory(winstonLogger);

// Anywhere in your code ...
var logger = logManager.getLogger();
// Log will be written to winston.
logger.info('Hello World !');

Typescript usage with winston

import { createDefaultILogFactory, ILog, logManager } from "common-logging";
import winstonLogger from "winston";
logManager.factory = createDefaultILogFactory(winstonLogger);

// Anywhere in your code ...
const logger: ILog = logManager.getLogger();
// Log will be written to winston.
logger.info("Hello World !");
