@basd/logger

the more you know — never forget

@basd/logger is a versatile and robust logging module for Node.js and the browser. It is part of the basd ecosystem of libraries and uses @basd/base for some of its core utilities. It supports logging directly to the console, to files, and to a specified database.

Installation

npm install @basd/logger

Usage

The logger library supports different logging levels (debug, info, warn, error, log) and can print to the console or write to a database.

const Logger = require('@basd/logger')

const myLogger = new Logger()

myLogger.debug('This is a debug message')
myLogger.info('This is an info message')
myLogger.warn('This is a warning message')
myLogger.error('This is an error message')
myLogger.log('This is a generic log message')

Logger Options

You can instantiate the logger with certain options:

const myLogger = new Logger({
  db: myDatabaseInstance, // provide a database instance
  winston: true, // enable winston logging
})

Database Logging

When provided a database instance during instantiation, the logger will write logs to the database:

myLogger.print('debug', 'This is a debug message stored in the DB')

Reading Logs

With the NodeLogger you can read the logs from the filesystem.

const NodeLogger = require('@basd/logger')

const nodeLogger = new NodeLogger()

nodeLogger.list().then(console.log) // list all log files
nodeLogger.read().then(console.log) // read the latest log file
nodeLogger.read('2023-07-24').then(console.log) // read a specific log file by date
nodeLogger.read([new Date('2023-01-01'), new Date()]).then(console.log) // read all logs between two dates
