json-stream-formatter v0.0.9

JSON Event Stream Formatter

Usage

CLI usage

By default json-stream-format pretty prints a json stream. If you want to use a more specific format you can use the --format (-f) parameter and specify the format. Place object keys to include inside double curly {{something}} brackets.

Example

cat test/fixtures/example.log | json-stream-format --format '{{time|date("h:m:s")|blue}}: {{msg|green}}'

You can also leave off the format, non-parameter arguments will be used as formats by default.

cat test/fixtures/example.log | json-stream-format '{{time|date("h:m:s")|blue}}: {{msg|green}}'

Node.js usage

Formatting

var jsf = require('json-stream-formatter');
var es = require('event-stream');
process.stdin
  .pipe(es.split())
  .pipe(es.parse())
  .pipe(jsf.format('{{time|date("d/m/y h:m:s")|blue}}: {{msg}}'))
  .pipe(process.stdout);

Pretty printing

var jsf = require('json-stream-formatter');
var es = require('event-stream');
process.stdin
  .pipe(es.split())
  .pipe(es.parse())
  .pipe(jsf.prettyPrint())
  .pipe(process.stdout);

Format sytnax

The formatter utilizes twig.js for foratting the json event messages. Available filters can be found in the twig.js implementation notes. In addition chalk-twig-filters are added to provide all of the chalk colors as twig filters. These are the color filters used in the examples above.

Installation

sudo npm install -g json-stream-formatter
