five-bells-shared v26.1.0

Five Bells Shared

Shared module among Five Bells Node.js apps

Installation

npm install --save five-bells-shared

Schema Validator

This module contains a schema validator.

Log Service

The log service uses mag and a custom formatter to generate pretty logs like this:

Usage

Set up the logger somewhere in your top-level app:

const hub = require('mag-hub')
const mag = require('mag')
const log = require('five-bells-shared/lib/log')

module.exports = log(mag, hub)

Then use it from anywhere using require('mag'):

const log = require('mag')('transfers')

log.debug('very boring information')
log.info('somewhat useful information')
log.warn('sort of important information')
log.error('super-important information')

Caveat

If you're using mag in a module which is npm linked, it will receive its own instance of mag and messages will not be formatted correctly. To solve this problem, you can install the mag module globally and link it in all of your local modules:

sudo npm install -g mag
npm link mag # in each module directory

Log Test Helper

The log helper is useful in tests to mute the log output of tests and print it if the test fails.

Usage

const logHelper = require('five-bells-shared/testHelpers/log');

describe('Transfers', function () {
  logHelper();

  // ...
});
