Nested Log Trees // Console And Socket Logging

flog.io is a tool for nested tree logging. The nested structure allows for a more varied console.log() usage. Replace your console.log() calls with flog.io.print(), or use them together.

npm install flog.io

Create new logs by: ---with or without a config object ---const flog=require('flog.io') ---let log=new flog.io({config object})

Default Config Object: { name:'flog.io' ,readconsole:false -> read console.log() calls ,writeconsole:true -> send to console.log() ,logfile:false -> save a log file ,sockets:[] -> sockets array ,emitname:'flog.io' -> socket emit event name ,parents:[] -> parents array ,children:[] -> children array }

Functions: .print(arguments) .addsocket(socket) .addchild(child) .addparent(parent) .removesocket(socket) .removechild(child) .removeparent(parent) Using print(): ---using a comma between arguments will start a new line ---replace the use of console.log() with .print(), .print() will write to the console, send over any sockets, save to a log file, and send to any parents ---or use console.log() and declare a flog.io with 'readconsole:true' to read the console.log() and automatically send to any log files, sockets, or parent logs

To use nested tree logging: ---.addchild(child) -> add a child log, the child.print() calls will also call the parent.print() ---.addparent(parent) -> add a parent log, similar to above ---.removechild(child) -> remove a child log ---.removeparent(parent) -> remove a parent log ---parents/children can also be added at instantiation ---Children copy their parents to the child's .print() calls, and those parents will copy their parents to the .print() call, etc ---Create any tree structure you like

Log to file: ---use the config setting 'logfile:true' ---every new flog.io has its own log file ---for now logs can be found in the 'flog.io' module folder

To enable the socket logging: ---.addsocket(socket) -> add a socket to pass print() arguments to using config.emitname ---the receiving socket.on(event,args) event by default is 'emitname:'flog.io'' ---sockets can also be added at instantiation
