@toreda/log - Dynamic Logger

  • Simple to use
  • Fully supports TypeScript
  • Custom Transport support
  • Works in Browser, Serverless, and Node environments.

Use Cases

Custom Transports

  • Configure transports to receive all log events, or only a filtered subset based on class, group, and log level.
  • Custom transports can filter and receive structured log data for specific events you care about. Get the exact functionality you need without writing a whole library.

Granular Control

  • Leave disabled log messages in prod environments which can be turned on later for debugging without a code push.
  • Set log levels for individual functions, classes, and groups. See debug output from the system you're debugging without seeing app-wide debug spam.

 

Usage

@toreda/log provides simple and straight forward logging for common use cases, and advanced functionality for use in more complicated situations like server-side and remote debugging.

Create Logger

import {Log} from '@toreda/log';
const log = new Log();

Log Levels

import {Log, Levels} from '@toreda/log';
const log = new Log({globalLevel: Levels.DEBUG});
// Change log level:
log.setGlobalLevel(Levels.ALL);
// Disable a specific log level only
log.disableGlobalLevel(Levels.TRACE)
// Disable specific log levels only
log.disableGlobalLevels([Levels.DEBUG, Levels.INFO])
// Enable a specific log level only
log.enableGlobalLevel(Levels.DEBUG)
// Enable specific log levels only
log.enableGlobalLevels([Levels.TRACE, Levels.INFO])
// Trace
log.trace('Trace message here');
// Debug
log.debug('Debug message here');
// Info
log.info('Info message here');
// Warn
log.warn('Warn message here');
// Error
log.error('my', 'message', 'here');
// Multple
log.log(Levels.ERROR & Levels.TRACE, 'trace and error message here');
// Custom
const customLevel =
log.log(0b0010_0000_0000, 'custom logging level');

Groups New logs can be created from existing logs. The new logs share a state with the log that created them and have an id that tracks the origin of of the log.

import {Log} from '@toreda/log';
const log = new Log({id: 'ClassLog'});
const subLog = log.makeLog('FunctionLog');

// Message has id 'ClassLog'
log.info('Class constructor started.');
// Message has id 'ClassLog.FunctionLog'
subLog.info('Function call started.');

log.globalState === subLog.globalState; // returns true

Transports Transports attach to logs and handle the messages.

A default transport that logs to console can be actived when creating the log.

import {Log} from '@toreda/log';
const log = new Log({consoleEnabled: true});
const sublog = log.makeLog('sublog');

// Logs to the console
log.info('Info Message');
// Logs to the console
sublog.info('Info Message');

It can also be activated later

import {Log} from '@toreda/log';
const log = new Log();
log.activateDefaultConsole();
const sublog = log.makeLog('sublog');

// Logs to the console
log.info('Info Message');
// Does not log to the console
sublog.info('Info Message');

Custom transports can also be created

import {Log, LogMessage, Transport} from '@toreda/log';
const log = new Log();
// Example dummy example.
// Custom actions can perform any async activity.
const action = async (msg: LogMessage): Promise<boolean> => {
   return true;
}
// Transports take a string ID, initial log level,
// and async action function.
const transport = new Transport('tid1', LogLevels.ALL, action);

// Add transport to global listeners.
log.addTransport(transport);

Removing Transports

// Remove the same transport
// NOTE: Requires access to original transport object
// now being removed.
log.removeTransport(transport);

// Remove global transport by ID.
// Use ID to remove global transports if you no
// longer have a reference to target transport.
log.removeTransportById('tid1');
