Ms-iso-logger NPM

ms-iso-logger

Isomorphic logger that works in client and server scope.

Install

yarn add ms-iso-logger

How it works

This package utilizes a webpack feature which looks at the browser field in package.json and uses that when bundling. When running on server side, node.js require looks at the main field, which points to another file. That way the interface looks the same but uses two different pieces of code behind the scenes. Check index-server.js and index-client.js for details.

Usage

To access the Logger, simply import it from ms-iso-logger and use it.

import { createLogger } from 'ms-iso-logger';

// create Logger and set context of logging instance (defaults to empty string)
const logger = createLogger('MyContext');

// log at different levels
logger.log('This is a message with level=INFO');
logger.debug('This is a message with level=DEBUG');

// change context of logging instance
logger.setContext('MyOtherComponent');

// log message with additional fields
logger.log({ message: 'This is a message', moreData: 'additional info' });

API

The module returns a single factory method that can be called to create a new Logger instance for the current environment. The Logger offers a set of public methods. NOTE: Due to the isomorphic nature the code behind the scenes still uses CJS instead of ES6 modules, so it is not possible to use named imports to e.g. import the Logger directly.

createLogger(contextId:string):Logger

Factory method that creates a new Logger instance.

Logger.setContext(contextId:string)

Set logging context for this single Logger instance using the contextId parameter. This is added to the log output and should be used to identify the log origin. The reporter argument my be used to set a different reporter. This defaults to
