llm.defineLogLevelProperties(someObject);
someObject.logLevel = 'error';
someObject.info( level => 'my info message (not reported since logLevel is error)')
someObject.logLevel = 'info';
someObject.info( level => 'my info message (reported since logLevel is now info)')
const llm = require('loglevel-mixin');
class BaseClass {
log(level, message) { console.log(`${level} ${message}`); }
}
llm.defineLoggerMethods(BaseClass.prototype);
class LoggingEnabledBaseClass extends llm.LogLevelMixin(BaseClass) {
}
const someObject = new LoggingEnabledBaseClass();
someObject.logLevel = 'error';
someObject.info( level => 'my info message (not reported since logLevel is error)')
someObject.logLevel = 'info';
