NodeJS Console Logger

A powerful and efficient JavaScript logger for NodeJS

npm install forbidden-node-logger

Getting Started

Logger (No File Support)

const NodeLogger = require("../src/index");
const Logger = new NodeLogger.Logger();

Logger (File Support)

const NodeLogger = require("../src/index");
const Logger = new NodeLogger.Logger({ dirPath: __dirname + "/log" });

Logger Basics

const NodeLogger = require("../src/index");
const Logger = new NodeLogger.Logger({ dirPath: __dirname + "/log" });
 
Logger.on("log", log => { /* Code */ }) // Emits when logging with any method
Logger.on("error", log => { /* Code */ }); // Emits when doing `Logger.error();`
// All log methods include an event "info", "debug" vice versa
 
Logger.log("Plain log");
Logger.log("&6Logger&r with &3colour");
Logger.eventLog("Log with no event emit"); // Look at "test/break.js" as why this exists
 
Logger.history.last(2); // Get the last 2 logs
Logger.fileHistory.getLatestLog().then(lines => Logger.eventLog(lines)); // Log an array of lines from the latest log file

Avoid Unhandled Rejection

const NodeLogger = require("../src/index");
const Logger = new NodeLogger.Logger({ dirPath: __dirname + "/log" });
 
/*
The EventEmitter will cause an unhandled rejection error
When you use Logger.error(). You need to handle the reject by not handling it
*/
Logger.on("error", () => { }); // This only applies to those who are not in need of the "error" emit
 
Logger.error("My Error");
