atlas-basic-logger

A very simple debug logger.

install

npm install --save atlas-basic-logger

why

I just need a simple error-first Logger which lets me avoid using console.log (for testability), while making my business logic cleaner and more concise.

examples

Both debug and concise mode can be used to do error-first logging. If an error is passed to the logger, it'll print it (or just the message in concise mode), otherwise it'll attempt to print the second argument.

debug mode

This will print the error to stderr, if it exists, otherwise it will print the full result to stdout, if it exists.

const Logger = require("atlas-basic-logger");
const isDebug = true;
const log = Logger(isDebug)
reddit.deleteAccount("atlassubbed", (err, res) => {
  log(err, res)
})
// or, in fewer lines
reddit.deleteAccount("atlassubbed", log)

concise mode

This will print the error's message to stderr, if it exists, otherwise it will print the full result to stdout, if it exists.

const log = require("atlas-basic-logger")();
reddit.deleteAccount("atlassubbed", (err, res) => {
  log(err, res)
})
// or, in fewer lines
reddit.deleteAccount("atlassubbed", log)
