nscl-logwriter

nscl-logwriter

Some logging and date-formatting code I've used multiple places.

Versions

• 1.0.3, 2020-08-17, AMV : First real publish.

Usage

Example:

const log = require('nscl-logwriter')(`/path/to/mylogfile.log`, 'My Log File');

log('Put a message string here.');
log('If you:\n- put multiple lines, then\n- you can put an optional indent level.', 4);
log('Watch this--' + JSON.stringify({a:1,b:2,c:3}, undefined, 2), 12);

const { goodDateAndTime } = require('nscl-logwriter');
log('Formatting a timestamp using goodDateAndTime:');
log(JSON.stringify(goodDateAndTime(1234567891011)));

Which outputs:

My Log File           Mon 8-17 6:59pm    1597708760955  |    Put a message string here.
My Log File           Mon 8-17 6:59pm    1597708760958  |    If you:
                                                        |        - put multiple lines, then
                                                        |        - you can put an optional indent level.

                                                        |                  "b": 2,
                                                        |                  "c": 3
                                                        |                }
