A very simple logging module. Because all the others are too much. This module relies on the node util module to provide timestamping and formatting of log messages. Messages are written to stdout via util.log.
The simplest useful log module imaginable.
Writes messages to stdout (as in [12 Factor App] (http://www.12factor.net/logs)) using the node.js util.log and util.format methods.
npm install simplog
Supports error, info, warn, debug and a handy event method. It's written in coffee script and you should be too (that was deliberate).
log.error "this is an error"
log.info "this is informational"
log.warn "this is a warning"
log.debug "this is a debug message and will only show up if process.env.DEBUG is truthy"
log.event "this will log with the type [EVENT] and will only show up if process.env.DEBUG is truthy"
It's even possible to use string formatting with it, like:
log.info "that %s looked like %j", object_name, object
Under the covers it's just using node's util.format and supports what you would expect.
As of 0.0.5 the output includes a pid as follows
22 May 22:07:44 - [15794] [ERROR] look ma, an error
If you decide you like the old way, sans pid:
22 May 22:07:44 - [ERROR] look ma, an error
you can make process.env.NOLOGPID truthy and it will go away.
