loglevel-prefix

Minimal lightweight (0.9KB minified and gzipped) plugin for loglevel message prefixing

Installation

npm install loglevel-prefix --save

API

prefix(log[, options]);

log - root logger, imported from loglevel package

options - configuration object

default_options = {
  template: '[%t] %l:',
  timestampFormatter: date => date.toTimeString().replace(/.*(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}).*/, '$1'),
  levelFormatter: level => level.toUpperCase(),
  nameFormatter: name => name || 'root'
}

Plugin formats the prefix using template option as a printf-like format.

The template is a string containing zero or more placeholder tokens. Each placeholder token is replaced with the value from loglevel messages parameters. Supported placeholders are:

%t - Timestamp of message.

%l - Level of message.

%n - Name of logger.

The timestampFormatter, levelFormatter and nameFormatter is a functions for formatting corresponding values

}

// moduleB.js
import log from 'loglevel';
 
const logger = log.getLogger('moduleB');
 
export default function () {
  logger.warn('message from moduleB');
}

// moduleC.js
import log from 'loglevel';
 
export default function () {
  const logger = log.getLogger('moduleC');

}

// main.js
import log from 'loglevel';
import prefix from 'loglevel-prefix';
 
import a from './moduleA';
import b from './moduleB';
import c from './moduleC';
 
log.warn('message from root %s prefixing', 'before');
