electron-log - npm Package Versions

5.0.0

Core

• Now it's a time to use modern ES instead of ES5. It was a joy to use old-fashioned ES5, but since the library grows it becomes harder to follow its restrictions. Starting from v5 the library requires Node.js 14+ or Electron 13 at least.
• Now a renderer process just sends log data to the main through IPC, so only the main logger can be configured. See initialize for more information
• A new tranforms property is added for each transport. It allows to configure transformations preformed on message data. See transforms for more information.
• log.create(logId) is replaced by log.create({ logId })

File transport

• archiveLog options is renamed to archiveLogFn
• resolvePath options is renamed to resolvePathFn
• All logs are written to main.log file. If you want to write renderer logs to a separated file, you can do that by overriding resolvePathFn

Console transport

• writeFn callback is added. By default, it just passes message.data to console.log function

Remote transport

• onError is renamed to processErrorFn({ error, message, request })
• transformBody is renamed to makeBodyFn({ logger, message, transport })

Electron event logger

To simplify app debugging the Electron event logging was implemented.
