Console

Usage

const Logger = require('leekslazylogger');
const { ConsoleTransport } = require('leekslazylogger/dist/transports');
const log = new Logger({
    transports: [
        new ConsoleTransport()
    ]
});

Or, alternatively:

const Logger = require('leekslazylogger');
const log = new Logger({
    transports: [
        new Logger.transports.ConsoleTransport()
    ]
});

Options

Defaults

See defaults.ts

Types:

interface Partial<ConsoleTransportOptions> {
    colours?: {
        [level: string]: string
    },
    format?: string | ((this: ConsoleTransportOptions, log: Log) => string),
    level?: string,
    timestamp?: string | ((date: Date) => string)
}

colours

Default

colours: {
    critical: '&!4&0',
    debug: '&1',
    error: '&4',
    info: '&3',
    notice: '&!6&0',
    success: '&2',
    warn: '&6'
}

Colours used by the default format function.

format

Default

format: function (this: ConsoleTransportOptions, log: Log): string {
    const timestamp = typeof this.timestamp === 'function' ? this.timestamp(log.timestamp) : dtf.fill(this.timestamp, log.timestamp);
    const colour = colours[log.level.name] ?? '';
    return short(`${colour}[${timestamp}] [${log.level.name.toUpperCase()}] ${log.namespace ? `(${log.namespace.toUpperCase()}) ` : ''}${log.content}`);
}

Either a string containing placeholders, or a function which returns a string.

String format

Placeholders:

• {timestamp}
• {level} / {LEVEL}
• {namespace} / {NAMESPACE}
• {file}
• {line}
• {column}
• {content}

Function format

To access the transport options (eg. timestamp) from within the function, use a classic function (not an ES6 arrow function) so this is the options object. The function is passed one argument, the Log object.

Log object

interface Log {
    content: string,
    level: LogLevel,
    namespace: string | null,
    timestamp: Date
}

level

Default

level: 'info'

The name of the minimum log level that this transport will receive.

timestamp

Default

timestamp: 'DD/MM/YY HH:mm:ss'

Either a DTF placeholder format, or a function which takes a Date and returns a string.
