BENE Logger

The BENE Logger is a library, which wraps winston with default parameters to be sent to all log messages using the instance. It also provides the console.time and console.timeEnd functionality to the logger, so that your log messages contain durations.

Example usage

A simple log message is shown below:

var BeneLogger = require('bene-logger');
var logger = new BeneLogger({ defaults: { foo: 'bar' } });

logger.info('entering the void', { boo: 'moo' });
// info: entering the void boo=moo, foo=bar

Another example showing the usage of the setDefaults method:

var BeneLogger = require('bene-logger');

var logger = new BeneLogger({ defaults: {alpha: 'bravo'}});

logger.setDefaults({charlie: 'delta'});

logger.info('calling phonetic alphabet');
// info: calling phonetic alphabet charlie=delta

Below is an example of a timed log message:

var BeneLogger = require('bene-logger');
var logger = new BeneLogger({ defaults: { process_id: 1337 } });

logger.time('db request');

// ... request here that takes 1234ms

logger.timeEnd('db request', { request_id: 42 });
// info: db request request_id=42, process_id=1337, duration=1234
