🌲 Timber - Winston transport
New to Timber? Here's a low-down on logging in Javascript.
@timberio/winston
This NPM library is for creating a Winston 3.x-compatible transport that transmits logs to Timber.io via the @timberio/node logger.
Here's how to get started:
Installation
Install the Node.js Timber logger and the Winston transport via NPM:
npm i @timberio/node @timberio/winston
Importing
In ES6/Typescript, import both the Timber logger class and the Timber Winston transport class:
import { Timber } from "@timberio/node";
import { TimberTransport } from "@timberio/winston";For CommonJS, require the packages instead:
const { Timber } = require("@timberio/node");
const { TimberTransport } = require("@timberio/winston");Creating a client/transport
You can create a client the usual way for @timberio/node, and then pass it into a new instance of TimberTransport:
// Assuming you've imported the Timber packages above,
// also import Winston...
import winston from "winston";
// Create a Timber client
const timber = new Timber("timber-organization-key", "timber-source-key");
// Create a Winston logger - passing in the Timber transport
const logger = winston.createLogger({
transports: [new TimberTransport(timber)]
});
// Log as normal in Winston - your logs will sync with Timber.io!
logger.log({
level: "info", // <-- will use Timber's `info` log level,
message: "Some message" // <-- will also be passed to Timber
});
