mobx-spy-logger

mobx-spy-logger

Easy to read, customisable mobx events logger based on mobx.spy.

Requirements

This lib has peer dependencies:

• mobx
• lodash (I'll try to remove it if it's a problem)

Usage

The logger has "sane" defaults, for a quick start, you just need two lines of code:

import mobxSpyLogger from 'mobx-spy-logger'
mobxSpyLogger.start()

mobxSpyLogger.start() returns a mobx dispose function. You can stop logging this way if needed.

const stopLogging = mobxSpyLogger.start()
stopLogging()

options

Select what should be logged:

mobxSpyLogger.start({
  spyActions: Boolean = true,
  spyComputed: Boolean = true,
  spyUpdates: Boolean = true,
})

options.loggers

Lets you customize the logs. Your logger function will be called with a parsed event.

mobx-spy-logger parses the useful information from mobx spy events. Then, you can use it however you want.

mobxSpyLogger.start({
  loggers: {
    logAction (parsedAction) {
      const {actor, actorId, actionName, eventArguments, isReaction} = parsedAction
      console.log(...)
    },

    logUpdate (parsedUpdate) {
      const {storeName, actorId, key, newValue} = parsedUpdate
      console.log(...)
    },

    logComputed (parsedComputed) {
      const {actor, actorId, key} = parsedComputed
      console.log(...)
    }
  }
})

Parsed properties

• actor: is usually the entity that triggered the event, like the store name or an element that was clicked.
• actorId: mobx-spy-logger tries to find a unique id on the actor (eg: actor.id), defaults to mobx unique id.
• eventArguments: string representation of the action / event arguments when available.
• isReaction: reaction events are also logged as "actions", this flag indicates if it was a reaction.
• key: in an update or computed event, it's the name of the property that was updated.
