prevent JSON output

[DC]

logs are unreadable as JSON output.
I'm running with these flags:

DEBUG_COLORS=true DEBUG_JSON=false NODE_ENV=astro nodemon src/server.ts

is there anyway to really make sure to nuke the json formatting when creating the object/instance?

when I do a normal console.log I get nice readable debug but with this library I just get this eyesore:

[DC]

the reason display is like this is because my NODE_ENV is not called exactly development
anything else and the logging functions default to "unreadable for humans" mode.

I tried both false and DEBUG_JSON=0 - but this doesn't work either.

DEBUG_JSON=false ...
DEBUG_JSON=0 ....

are there any other options or should I just use console.log ?

since these options don't work, can this lib work with other logging output formatters? tap etc?

[DC]

also tried this at the start of the app, no changes to output

const Log = require('debug-level')
Log.options({
  json: false  /// also tried true - no change
})

[DC]

also tried as %j

clog.error('error adding role %j', err)

maybe the mistmatch here is i'm trying to log an objects, but i want nicely formatted JSON not the wall-o-text kind.

is there a way to get objects to output with indentation etc? like json.dumps(obj, null, 4)

DEBUG_SPLIT_LINE=true should give you the expected behavior.
e.g.

DEBUG_COLORS=true DEBUG_JSON=false DEBUG_SPLIT_LINE=true NODE_ENV=astro node examples/levels
