npmlog v7.0.1
npmlog
The logger util that npm uses.
This logger is very basic. It does the logging for npm. It supports custom levels and colored output.
By default, logs are written to stderr. If you want to send log messages
to outputs other than streams, then you can change the log.stream
member, or you can just listen to the events that it emits, and do
whatever you want with them.
Installation
npm install npmlog --save
Basic Usage
var log = require('npmlog')
// additional stuff ---------------------------+
// message ----------+ |
// prefix ----+ | |
// level -+ | | |
// v v v v
log.info('fyi', 'I have a kitty cat: %j', myKittyCat)
log.level
- {String}
The level to display logs at. Any logs at or above this level will be
displayed. The special level silent
will prevent anything from being
displayed ever.
log.record
- {Array}
An array of all the log messages that have been entered.
log.maxRecordSize
- {Number}
The maximum number of records to keep. If log.record gets bigger than 10% over this value, then it is sliced down to 90% of this value.
The reason for the 10% window is so that it doesn't have to resize a large array on every log entry.
log.prefixStyle
- {Object}
A style object that specifies how prefixes are styled. (See below)
log.headingStyle
- {Object}
A style object that specifies how the heading is styled. (See below)
log.heading
- {String} Default: ""
If set, a heading that is printed at the start of every line.
log.stream
- {Stream} Default:
process.stderr
The stream where output is written.
log.enableColor()
Force colors to be used on all messages, regardless of the output stream.
log.disableColor()
Disable colors on all messages.
log.enableProgress()
Enable the display of log activity spinner and progress bar
log.disableProgress()
Disable the display of a progress bar
log.enableUnicode()
Force the unicode theme to be used for the progress bar.
log.disableUnicode()
Disable the use of unicode in the progress bar.
log.setGaugeTemplate(template)
Set a template for outputting the progress bar. See the gauge documentation for details.
log.setGaugeThemeset(themes)
Select a themeset to pick themes from for the progress bar. See the gauge documentation for details.
log.pause()
Stop emitting messages to the stream, but do not drop them.
log.resume()
Emit all buffered messages that were written while paused.
log.log(level, prefix, message, ...)
level
{String} The level to emit the message atprefix
{String} A string prefix. Set to "" to skip.message...
Arguments toutil.format
Emit a log message at the specified level.
log[level](prefix, message, ...)
For example,
- log.silly(prefix, message, ...)
- log.verbose(prefix, message, ...)
- log.info(prefix, message, ...)
- log.http(prefix, message, ...)
- log.warn(prefix, message, ...)
- log.error(prefix, message, ...)
Like log.log(level, prefix, message, ...)
. In this way, each level is
given a shorthand, so you can do log.info(prefix, message)
.
log.addLevel(level, n, style, disp)
level
{String} Level indicatorn
{Number} The numeric levelstyle
{Object} Object with fg, bg, inverse, etc.disp
{String} Optional replacement forlevel
in the output.
Sets up a new level with a shorthand function and so forth.
Note that if the number is Infinity
, then setting the level to that
will cause all log messages to be suppressed. If the number is
-Infinity
, then the only way to show it is to enable all log messages.
log.newItem(name, todo, weight)
name
{String} Optional; progress item name.todo
{Number} Optional; total amount of work to be done. Default 0.weight
{Number} Optional; the weight of this item relative to others. Default 1.
This adds a new are-we-there-yet
item tracker to the progress tracker. The
object returned has the log[level]
methods but is otherwise an
are-we-there-yet
Tracker
object.
log.newStream(name, todo, weight)
This adds a new are-we-there-yet
stream tracker to the progress tracker. The
object returned has the log[level]
methods but is otherwise an
are-we-there-yet
TrackerStream
object.
log.newGroup(name, weight)
This adds a new are-we-there-yet
tracker group to the progress tracker. The
object returned has the log[level]
methods but is otherwise an
are-we-there-yet
TrackerGroup
object.
Events
Events are all emitted with the message object.
log
Emitted for all messageslog.<level>
Emitted for all messages with the<level>
level.<prefix>
Messages with prefixes also emit their prefix as an event.
Style Objects
Style objects can have the following fields:
fg
{String} Color for the foreground textbg
{String} Color for the backgroundbold
,inverse
,underline
{Boolean} Set the associated propertybell
{Boolean} Make a noise (This is pretty annoying, probably.)
Message Objects
Every log event is emitted with a message object, and the log.record
list contains all of them that have been created. They have the
following fields:
id
{Number}level
{String}prefix
{String}message
{String} Result ofutil.format()
messageRaw
{Array} Arguments toutil.format()
Blocking TTYs
We use set-blocking
to set
stderr and stdout blocking if they are tty's and have the setBlocking call.
This is a work around for an issue in early versions of Node.js 6.x, which
made stderr and stdout non-blocking on OSX. (They are always blocking
Windows and were never blocking on Linux.) npmlog
needs them to be blocking
so that it can allow output to stdout and stderr to be interlaced.
