node-logger

A simple Node.js logger.

This module is essentially a wrapper around the console.log and console.error methods that provides for a small amount of prescribed convenience regarding formatting, allowing for logging to the standard output as well as a series of text files within a logs directory.

Usage

• The only distinction between the log, warn, and error methods is the output log file that is written to in the logs/ directory.
• You can disable the prepended prefix by passing an empty string ('') to Logger
• You can disable the prepended timestamp by passing false as the second argument to Logger
• You can disable the writing of log files in specific environments by including an array of environments of which should be excluded as the third argument
• You can disable the writing of log files completely by passing true as the fourth argument

import Logger from './logger.js'

const Log = Logger(
    'Logger Prefix: ',
    true,
    ['development', 'staging'],
    false
)

Log.log('test', true, 'it out')
Log.warn('test', true, 'it out')
Log.error('Your error message!')
