stoopid v0.2.1

stoopid -- Loggers are stupid and I'm resentful that I had to write this.

Install

Or from source:

Usage

stoopid.log('I am a robot', {prop:'value'})

The stoopid module exports itself as an instance of Logger with the namespace "process".

You can create child logger objects with new namespaces with the .logger(name) method.

var logger = require('stoopid').logger('myModuleName')

A logger object supports all the same methods that the console object in node supports and has a nearly identical API. It also supports all the methods necessary to be enabled as a logger in socket.io.

console logging is enabled by default.

Logger(name)

Base logger object.
