Motivation

There are a lot of cases, where you need to parse and analyze your logs. For example to access them during tests. This package provides transport, that allows simply push logs to js array, so you don't need any runtime parsers anymore.

Requirements

• node 6.0+
• npm 3.0+

Installation

To install the library run following command

  npm i --save winston-array-transport

Usage

The package can be used alongside any other winston transport.

import ArrayTransport from 'winston-array-transport';
import { createLogger } from 'winston';

const logs = [];
const transport  = new ArrayTransport({ array: logs, json: true, level: 'info' });

export const logger = createLogger({
    transports : [ transport ]
});

• name - name of a transport, ArrayTransport by default;
• eol - end of line , os.EOL by default;
• array - array, where all logs will be stored;
• parser - function, that will be applied to log messages;
