myLogger.error("Error-Center", center);
myLogger.success("Success-Center", center);
myLogger.warn("Warn-Center", center);

myLogger.magenta(`a${LColor.c_green}b${LColor.c_yellow}c`, true);

myLogger.info(
    `${LColor.c_gray}Gray` +

Options

option	type	default	description
timeZone	string	'America/Mexico_City'	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
timeFormat	string	'DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm:ss.SSS'	momentjs format string
languaje	string	'es'	languaje string for date (moment locale)
centerColumns	number	50	This option centers the content of the log in the indicated, eg. 'a', centered at 5 will become ' a '
operationId	string	null	Used for easy identification of logs, will be present after the datetime in each log
writeToFile	WriteToFileOptions		Options for writing the log to an external file

WriteToFileOptions

option	type	default	description
enabled	boolean	false	if enabled then the logs will be writted to the file
preserveColors	boolean	true	if the colors want to be preserved, this will look bad if you open the log file in a non-compatible terminal or if you want to process the log info, useful just for searching with cat/grep
fileName	boolean	log	name of the file to save
fileExtension	boolean	txt	the output will be text, the extension is just for the filename
directory	boolean	/logs	directory name, snippet %date% can be used and will be replaced with the current date when writing the file, eg. /etc/logs/my-logs-%date% ==> /etc/logs/my-logs-2021-01-01
createDirIfNotExists	boolean	true	whether or not the directory should be created if it does not exists

     

You can also prefix your string with one of this variables to have multiple colors in one line:

import { LColor } from 'logger-colors';

• LColor.c_gray
• LColor.c_green
• LColor.c_red
• LColor.c_yellow
• LColor.c_magenta
• LColor.c_cyan
• LColor.c_white

Note: All the logs are printed internally using console.log, so this is not useful if you want to handle errors/debug logs with stdout and stderr, everything is sent to stdout.
