📦 Installation

# npm
npm install @nexe/logger

# yarn
yarn add @nexe/logger

# pnpm
pnpm add @nexe/logger

# bun
bun add @nexe/logger

🚀 Quick Start

Basic Usage

import { createLogger, logger } from '@nexe/logger';

// Use global logger
logger.info('Hello, World!');
logger.error('Something went wrong!', { error: 'details' });

// Create named logger
const apiLogger = createLogger('API');
apiLogger.info('API server started');

With Nexe Framework

import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { createLogger } from '@nexe/logger';

const logger = createLogger('app');
logger.info('🚀 Starting Nexe application...');

const app = new Hono();
app.get('/', c => {
  return c.text('Hello Nexe!');
});

logger.info('✅ Application ready!');
export default app;

Advanced Configuration

import { createLogger, LogLevel } from '@nexe/logger';

const customLogger = createLogger('MyService', {
  level: LogLevel.DEBUG,
  transport: {
    target: 'pino-pretty',
    options: {
      colorize: true,
      translateTime: 'yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:ss.l',
    },
  },
});

customLogger.debug('Debug information');
customLogger.info('Service initialized');
customLogger.warn('Warning message');
customLogger.error('Error occurred');

📖 API Reference

Core Functions

createLogger(name?, config?)

Creates a new logger instance with optional name and configuration.

const logger = createLogger('ServiceName', {
  level: LogLevel.INFO,
  // ... other options
});

logger (Global Logger)

Pre-configured global logger instance.

import { logger } from '@nexe/logger';

logger.info('Global log message');

Logger Methods

logger.fatal('Fatal error');
logger.error('Error message');
logger.warn('Warning message');
logger.info('Info message');
logger.debug('Debug message');
logger.trace('Trace message');

Context Support

// Set context for all subsequent logs
logger.setContext({ requestId: '123', userId: 'user456' });
logger.info('User action performed');

// Create child logger with context
const childLogger = logger.child({ module: 'auth' });
childLogger.info('Authentication successful');

⚙️ Configuration

Environment-based Configuration

The logger automatically adapts based on NODE_ENV:

• Development: Pretty-printed colored output
• Production: JSON format optimized for log aggregation
• Test: Minimal logging to reduce noise

Custom Configuration

import { createLogger, LogLevel } from '@nexe/logger';

const logger = createLogger('MyApp', {
  level: LogLevel.INFO,
  redact: ['password', 'token'], // Hide sensitive fields
  formatters: {
    level: (label, number) => ({ level: number }),
    bindings: bindings => ({ service: 'MyApp', ...bindings }),
  },
  serializers: {
    req: req => ({ method: req.method, url: req.url }),
    res: res => ({ statusCode: res.statusCode }),
  },
});

🎨 Output Examples

Development Output

[2025-07-27 14:08:19.149] INFO (MyService): User login successful
[2025-07-27 14:08:19.150] ERROR (Auth): Invalid credentials provided
    error: "Invalid username or password"
    requestId: "req_123456"

Production Output

{"level":30,"time":1643299699149,"name":"MyService","msg":"User login successful","requestId":"req_123456"}
{"level":50,"time":1643299699150,"name":"Auth","msg":"Invalid credentials provided","err":{"type":"AuthError","message":"Invalid username or password"}}

🔧 Transports

Console Transport

import { createConsoleTransport } from '@nexe/logger';

const transport = createConsoleTransport({
  colorize: true,
  translateTime: 'yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:ss.l',
});

File Transport

import { createFileTransport } from '@nexe/logger';

const transport = createFileTransport({
  destination: './logs/app.log',
  mkdir: true,
});

Rotating Files

import { createRotatingFileTransport } from '@nexe/logger';

const transport = createRotatingFileTransport({
  filename: './logs/app-%DATE%.log',
  frequency: 'daily',
  maxSize: '10M',
  maxFiles: '7',
});

🛡️ Security Features

Automatic Redaction

const logger = createLogger('SecureApp', {
  redact: ['password', 'token', 'authorization', 'cookie'],
});

// This will automatically redact sensitive fields
logger.info('User data', {
  username: 'john_doe',
  password: 'secret123', // This will be redacted
});

Safe Serialization

All serializers include error handling to prevent logging failures from crashing your application.

🧪 Testing

import { createLogger, LogLevel } from '@nexe/logger';

// Create test logger with minimal output
const testLogger = createLogger('Test', {
  level: LogLevel.WARN, // Only log warnings and errors in tests
});
