Basic Logging

This feature allows you to log messages with a specific type and level. In this example, 'apdu' is the type, 'message' is the content, and 'debug' is the level of the log.

const { log } = require('@ledgerhq/logs');
log('apdu', 'message', 'debug');

Custom Log Listener

You can set up a custom listener to handle log messages. This example demonstrates how to listen for log events and print them to the console.

const { listen } = require('@ledgerhq/logs');
listen(log => {
  console.log(log.type, log.message, log.level);
});
