logget

logget

A simple wrapper around winston that helps give context to your logs.

Deprecated. Opt to use winston or bunyan directly.

Installation

npm install --save logget

Usage

Simple usage:

The object that gets returned can be used like a winston logger instance.

var log = require('logget')();

log.silly('silly log');
log.debug('debugging all the things');
log.verbose('blah blah blah');
log.info('logging stuff...');
log.warn('hey shouldn\'t we fix that?');
log.error('release the kraken');

Advanced usage:

If you pass in a string to the function, it will prefix your messages with that string wrapped around square brackets.

// app.js
var log = require('logget')('app');
log.info('testing'); // Will log out "info: [app] testing"

// model.js
var log = require('logget')('model');
log.info('testing'); // Will log out "info: [model] testing"

Expert usage:

You can customize what transports, log levels, level colors, and anything else you can pass into new winston.Logger().

var Log = require('logget');
// You can only call .configure once, and it must be before you make a new log.
Log.configure({
  transports: [
    new Log.transports.Console({colorize: true})
  ],
  levels: {
    foo: 0,
    bar: 1,
    baz: 2,
    foobar: 3
  },
  colors: {
    foo: 'green',
    bar: 'blue',
    baz: 'yellow',
    foobar: 'red'
  }
});

// now in this file or any other that gets `required` after this one:
var log = require('logget')();
log.foo('bar');
log.bar('foo');
log.baz('zab');
log.foobar('hello world');
