Log.js

Handy logging wrapper around window.console with log levels in JavaScript.

Why not console.log()?

Log.js has a number of extra features comparing to console.log():

• Adds date and time when log was written.
• Adds log level.
• Adds name of a logger. If you have many different loggers in application this feature will be very helpful.
• Message could be passed as a function and it will be called only if appropriate log level is enabled.

Usage

Include Log.js script in your HTML page:

<script src="/path/to/log-0.0.1.js"></script>

And then use it:

var myLog = LogJS.get({name: "MyLog", level: "trace", enabled: true});
myLog.info("Hello, Log");
myLog.trace(function() {
    return "Current log level is: " + myLog.getLevel();
});

Example of console output:

01:48:36.569 INFO  [MyLog] Hello, Log
01:48:36.570 WARN  [MyLog] Hello, Log
01:48:36.570 ERROR [MyLog] Hello, Log

Log levels

Log levels (case insensitive):

1. TRACE (the least serious)
2. DEBUG (default)
3. INFO
4. WARN
5. ERROR
6. FATAL (the most serious)

Date & Time formatting

Formatting of date and time is done via moment.js http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/

Required libs

• Moment.js
• JSON

Inspiration

This library is inspired by slf4j and similar logging frameworks from Java world.
