About

Types & basis infrastructure for arbitrary logging (w/ default impls).

The types & implementations provided by this package are used in various places throughout the thi.ng/umbrella ecosystem and can be swapped out on demand to customize users' needs.

Log levels

All loggers based on this basic framework provided by this package support the following LogLevels (in order of importance):

• FINE
• DEBUG
• INFO
• WARN
• SEVERE

Logging calls targetting lower levels than configured in the logger will be ignored.

Supplied implementations

The following logger implementations are provided:

• ConsoleLogger: writes output to console
• MemoryLogger: writes output to in-memory journal
• NULL_LOGGER: no-op logger, suppresses all output

Lazy evaluation

Log messages can contain any number & types of arguments. No-arg functions can be provided as message arg to avoid evaluation of potentially costly message formatting for suppressed log levels. For example:

import { ConsoleLogger, LogLevel } from "@thi.ng/logger";

const logger = new ConsoleLogger("app", LogLevel.INFO);

const name = "thi.ng";

// eager (standard) arg evaluation
logger.info(`hello, ${name}`);
// [INFO] app: hello, thi.ng

// eager (standard) arg evaluation, but suppressed output
logger.debug("result is", 23 + 42);

// lazy arg evaluation
logger.info("result is", () => 23 + 42);
// [INFO] app: result is 65
