The Logging Library ~~you~~ I always wanted

logc - The Logging Library you I always wanted

This is a personal project of mine, which fixes a few issues I find annoying with the current implementation of console.log() and other libraries.

This library works best in addition to your usual console.log() workflow.

Installation / Usage

Node.js

npm i @throvn/logc

Browser

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@throvn/logc/build/core.js

your/project/index.ts

import { log, logInfo } from "@throvn/logc";
logInfo("This is an example.");

function example(arg: any) {
  // do some logic here

  log(arg);
}

example("arg");

Output:

Documentation

Function	native equivalent	Colors	Prints caller
log(any[]) / logc(any[])	console.log()	false	true
logInfo(any[])	console.info()	true	true
logWarning(any[])	console.warn()	true	true
logError(any[])	console.error()	true	true
logTime(any[])	-	false	false
logTimePrecise(any[])	-	false	false

Do I plan to expand this? Idk, whenever I feel like something is missing, I will add/change it, eventually. (Maybe smth \w JSON)

If you have some ideas, PR's are welcome!

The issues & solutions:

1. I'm lazy, when prototypes get bigger, you have trouble finding the right console.log() call. Thats why this library prints the calling function in front of the log output.
2. In the terminal, you cannot differentiate between the err and out stream. And console.warn() calls suck too. That's why this library has visual feedback, which channel is the current one.
3. Alternative logging libraries have mostly the following issues:
   • They are a complete replacement of console.log(), you cannot only use the things you like
   • The names are unneccessary long. (Again, I'm a lazy typer)

This library is by no means designed to be an entire logging library. Just use it when you feel you need it.

It uses Typescript and has an built-in documentation.

It is freaking easy to use, just use it like console.log.

Comes with NO bloatware.

Dependency free!
