BUT WHAT A SHOW IT WAS !

How do I use it?

Install

This library is available via the public npm registry and should work with any Node version that has very basic ES6 support (e.g. Node 10+ should be fine).

# If using NPM
npm install wow-mum-look-no-hands

# I using Yarn
yarn add wow-mum-look-no-hands

Run

It makes sense to run wow-mum-look-no-hands as part of your app start up script. The showtime() method returns a Promise that resolves as soon all messages, including their specified delay have been logged. By default, the library is going to log via the console functions (i.e. console.debug, console.info, console.warn and console.error, which correspond to the specified logLevel properties)

// ES6 or TypeScript Import
import { Theatre, Message } from 'wow-mum-look-no-hands'
// CommonJS Import
const { Theatre, Message } = require('wow-mum-look-no-hands')

// Create a new Theatre instance 
const theatre = new Theatre({
  messages: [
    {
      logLevel: 'ERROR', // DEBUG | INFO | WARN | ERROR - DEFAULT: INFO
      message: '⚙️ Defragment Windows 95 C:\ drive. This might take a while ...', 
      delayInMS: 500 // delay in milliseconds before above message is displayed - DEFALT: 250
    },
    new Message('🙈 Discovered year 2020. Aborting unnecessary Windows 95 operations.'),
    new Message({
      message: '⚙️ Processing super-vortex decission algorhithm ...',
      delayInMS: 5000
    })
    // ...
    // further messages for the Show
    // ...
  ]
  //,
  //logger: (message: Message) => void  // defaults to console - implement if other logging library is needed (see below for example)
})

// When ready, call showtime() to start the show
theatre.showtime() // Returns Promise, that resolves when the show is over

If you want to log via a different logging library and not via the console functions, then you can provide a logger property to the Theatre configuration like this:

const theatre = new Theatre({
  messages: [
    // see above for examples
  ],
  logger: message => {
    const { logLevel, delayInMS, message } = message // message argument contains all message properties

    // do what ever your logger requires
    // Example: pseudo alternative logger call
    myLog.log({
      level: logLevel,
      message: message
    })

    // return is void / not required
  }
})
