Logerian

Description

Logerian is a logging utility made by me! I made this logging utility mainly because I am too dumb to understand other loggers like winston and signale. If you're willing to contribute, please read CONTRIBUTING.md.

Usage

To use this logger, you can simply just create a new logger instance and it'll work. It uses default options, which is the built-in coloredLog prefix, routing log levels correctly to stdout and stderr respectively:

import { Logger } from "logerian"; // ES import
const { Logger } = require("logerian"); // CJS import

const logger = new Logger();

logger.info("Hello World!");
// Output: [17:43:01] [INFO] Hello World!

By default, the logger adds a prefix with a timestamp and log level as shown in the example code above. If you wish to change that, you'll have to define a stream when you create the logger.

const logger = new Logger({
  streams: [
    {
      stream: process.stdout,
    },
  ],
});

logger.info("foobar");
// Output: foobar

A logger can utilize multiple output streams:

const logger = new Logger({
  streams: [
    {
      stream: process.stdout,
    },
    {
      stream: fs.createWriteStream("log.txt"),
    },
  ],
});

logger.info("Iron Man dies in Endgame");
// Output: Iron Man dies in Endgame
logger.info("Steve Rogers is old!!");
// Output: Steve Rogers is old!!
# log.txt
Iron Man dies in Endgame
Steve Rogers is old!!

There's also a neat thing called log levels!

import { Logger, LoggerLevel } from "logerian";
const { Logger, LoggerLevel } = require("logerian");

const logger = new Logger({
  streams: [
    {
      level: LoggerLevel.WARN,
      stream: process.stdout,
    },
    {
      level: LoggerLevel.DEBUG, // Debug level is default
      stream: fs.createWriteStream("log.txt"),
    }
  ],
});

// Logs to both - stdout and log.txt
logger.error("Uh oh! There's an error!");

// Logs only to log.txt
logger.debug("By the way, there's an error because your code sucks!");

If you want to use pinned lines (as they're called in code), just use logger.createPinnedLine. The rest should be pretty easy to understand from the documentation
