📦 Installation

npm i @adovelopers/logado

---

📘 Usage Example

import { createLogger } from '@adovelopers/logado';

const logger = createLogger();

logger.info('Server started');
logger.warn('Memory usage is high');
logger.error('Failed to connect to database');

---

🔧 Log Levels

Level	Value	Use Case
silent	-1	Suppresses all logging
error	0	Serious issues or crashes
warn	1	Warnings about potential problems
notice	2	General notices (non-errors)
http	3	HTTP logs and request tracking
info	4	Informational messages
verbose	5	Detailed operational logs
silly	6	Highly detailed developer-level logs

You can set a minimum log level to control what gets printed.

Example:

const logger = createLogger({ level: 'warn' });
logger.info('Will NOT be shown');
logger.warn('This will be shown');

---

LoggerOptions

Option	Type	Default	Description
level	LogLevel	info	Minimum log level to display
logToFile	boolean	false	Enable/disable file logging
logFilePath	string	"./ado.log"	Path to log file (when logToFile is true)

---

Methods

Each log level has its own method:

logger.error("Fatal error occurred");
logger.warn("Low disk space");
logger.notice("User account created");
logger.http("GET /api/items");
logger.info("Starting application");
logger.verbose("Loaded 3 modules");
logger.silly("Variable x = 42");
You can also use the generic .log(level, message) method:

logger.log("error", "This is equivalent to logger.error()");

---

📁 File Logging

Enable file output by setting logToFile: true and providing logFilePath:

const logger = createLogger({
  logToFile: true,
  logFilePath: "./logs/output.log"
});

If the file doesn’t exist, it will be created.

---

💡 Best Practices

• Use "silly" and "verbose" in development only.
• Log to file for audit trails and production issues.
• Use "http" for request tracing in Express/Koa apps.
• Keep log level to "warn" or "error" in CI/CD and tests.
