winston-format-pretty-console

Winston@3 pretty console format

Winston@3 pretty console formatter.

Why?

• Because Winston v3 broke fundamental console features that worked fine in v2 (details)
• Because logging to the console should be delightful 🎉

Why not winston-console-format?

• Looks really nice, but has different design goals
• Requires message to be a string (as opposed to anything we want)
• Doesn't support some of features mentioned below

Features

• Supports any number of arguments, of any type, which will be pretty printed to the console (message argument can be anything!)
• Supports colorized string values just fine (e.g. using chalk)
• Formats literal values like number, null, undefined, function, etc.
• Handles Error objects. The error be any argument
• Supports formatting configuration, per logger and even per single log

Design Decisions

• Should work as expected, basically like console.log
• No fancy colors, should be clean by default
• Provides easy Copy/Paste experience of multi-line objects, etc.
