This lib is intended to only be used in NodeJS. It will color your output, and will make sure it gets proper timestamping Example:
2016/10/26 00:44:37.484 ERROR Error connecting to mongo: {"name":"MongoError","message":"Authentication failed.","ok":0,"code":18,"errmsg":"Authentication failed."}
This sample identifies the following items:
- timestamp
- type of message (can be any one of debug, info, error)
- user's message (text format)
- JSON.stringified user's other objects passed as parameters.
How to use it ?
var log = require ('simple-color-log');
log.debug("Started this service. I will print some random JSON now:", {firstJson: "Value", secondKey:"secondValue"}, {error: "This is an error on the same log method"});
That's it. It knows about 3 logging methods and one shut-the-hell-up method.
- debug (loglevel 3)
- info (loglevel 2)
- error (loglevel 1)
- none (loglevel 0)
Usage:
log.<method>("Strings", myJSONVar, anArrayVar, "some other strings");
