Screenshot

Log level

You can hide low level log such as debug.

const LogTalk = require('log-talk');
const minLevel = 3;
const logger = new LogTalk(minLevel);

Label

Set label option to customize label.
If you don't set label, name option is used as label.

const LogTalk = require('log-talk');
const logger = new LogTalk();
logger.setMethod({ name: 'foo', label: 'Foo' });

Time format

Set timeFormat option to customize time format.

const LogTalk = require('log-talk');
const logger = new LogTalk();
logger.setMethod({ name: 'foo', timeFormat: 'YYYY-MM-DD' });

It depends on Day.js to generate time string.
Formatting rules are here.

Highlight

Set color option to highlight.
NOTE: IE ignores color.

const LogTalk = require('log-talk');
const logger = new LogTalk();
logger.setMethod({ name: 'foo', color: 'yellow' });

These are defined colors.

• default
• blue
• green
• yellow
• red

It's not flexible and few though.
I will improve it soon.
