@types/pino

What is @types/pino?

@types/pino provides TypeScript type definitions for the Pino logging library, which is a fast and low-overhead logging library for Node.js applications.

What are @types/pino's main functionalities?

Basic Logging

This feature allows you to create a basic logger instance and log messages at the 'info' level.

const pino = require('pino');
const logger = pino();
logger.info('Hello, world!');

Custom Log Levels

This feature allows you to define custom log levels for more granular logging.

const pino = require('pino');
const logger = pino({
  customLevels: {
    foo: 35
  }
});
logger.foo('This is a custom log level');

Child Loggers

This feature allows you to create child loggers that inherit properties from the parent logger.

const pino = require('pino');
const logger = pino();
const child = logger.child({ a: 'property' });
child.info('Hello from child logger');

Log Redaction

This feature allows you to redact sensitive information from logs.

const pino = require('pino');
const logger = pino({
  redact: ['req.headers.authorization']
});
logger.info({ req: { headers: { authorization: 'secret' } } }, 'Request received');

Other packages similar to @types/pino

@types/winston

@types/winston provides TypeScript type definitions for the Winston logging library, which is a versatile and widely-used logging library for Node.js. Winston offers features like multiple transports, log levels, and formatters, making it a more feature-rich but potentially slower alternative to Pino.

@types/bunyan

@types/bunyan provides TypeScript type definitions for the Bunyan logging library, which is another fast and JSON-based logging library for Node.js. Bunyan offers features like log streams and serializers, making it similar in performance to Pino but with a different API and feature set.

pino provides its own type definitions, so you don't need @types/pino installed!
