yeslog

yes, I wrote another logging module.

It's a super simple implementation/api.

var Log = require('yeslog')
var path = require('path')

var filename = path.join(__dirname, __filename)

var log = new Log('INFO', filename, process.stderr)

log.debug('yeah, so what') // nothing written

// these all get logged:
log.info('interesting stuff')
log.warn('this is the kinda bad?')
log.error('stop!')

API

var Log = require('yeslog')

var log = new Log(level, name, stream)

Arguments

• level: one of the following strings:

  • 'TRACE'
  • 'DEBUG'
  • 'INFO'
  • 'WARN'
  • 'ERROR'
  • 'FATAL'

  Determines which messages get written to the stream.

• name: A string to include which describes the file originating the error.

• stream: A writable stream to which to write messages.

Methods

• log is an object with methods:

  • trace
  • debug
  • info
  • warn
  • error
  • fatal

  Each of which expects a string to be passed to util.format and writes it to the supplied stream.

  Each output line has the format:

  LEVEL (isodate) [name]: MESSAGE
