debugLogger('Error for Log'); // to save as a file

let options = {console: true};

debugLogger('Error for Log, options); // to display to console

if you wish to indicate a type of error

debugLogger('Sample Error for Log', 3); // to save as a file

let options = {console: true};
debugLogger('Sample Error for Log', 3, options); // to display to console

The debug number refers to the type or error notification you want to see Here are the different types - 7 (debug) is default if null

0:'EMERGENCY' 1:'ALERT' 2:'CRITICAL' 3:'ERROR', 4:'WARNING' 5:'NOTICE' 6:'INFO' 7:'DEBUG'

Passing variables for debug

let s = 'sample var 1';
let t = 'sample var 2';

let vars = { s:s, t:t };

let options = {vars: vars};
debugLogger('Sample Error for Log', 2, options); // to save as a file

let options = {console: true, vars: vars};
debugLogger('Sample Error for Log', 2, options); // to display to console
