react-native-simple-logger

A simple React-Native logger to log outputs to make debugging easy in Chrome Debugger.

It automatically disables the console.log if it is not in the production environment.

Installation

If using yarn:

yarn add react-native-simple-logger

If using npm:

npm i react-native-simple-logger

Usage

import logger from 'react-native-simple-logger';

Simply change

console.log('I am a log');

to

logger.log('I am a log');

It has different methods to log the out:

1. logger.log

Usage:

let data object be:

const data = {
   id: 1,
   email: '[e-mail]',
   name: 'test'
}

• logger.log(header, text, expandJson)

  header: The header to be shown as heading of the output

  text: The output to be shown

  expandJson: If the output to be shown is JSON object, the JSON object would be expanded by using JSON.stringify().replace() method

• logger.log(text)

  text: The output to be shown

  If only text is provided, the default heading would be "LOG"

  The default value for expandJson is false

logger.log('I am a log')	logger.log(null, data, true)	logger.log('User data is: ', data, true)

2. logger.error

Usage:

• logger.error(header, text)

  header: The header to be shown as heading of the output

  text: The output to be shown

• logger.error(text)

  text: The output to be shown

  If only text is provided, the default heading would be "ERROR"

logger.error('error is: ', 'I am an error')	logger.error('I am an error')

3. logger.apiError

Usage:

• logger.apiError(header, text)

  header: The header to be shown as heading of the output

  text: The output to be shown

• logger.apiError(text)

  text: The output to be shown

  If only "text" is provided, the default heading would be "API ERROR"

  This method is made to log the API error for the "axios". The error details would contain the error status code, url, error response etc.

Let api request be:

axios({
    url: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/post',
    method: 'post',
    data: {
        title: 'foo',
        body: 'bar',
    },
})
    .then((response) => logger.data('add post response is: ', response.data))
    .catch((error) => logger.apiError('add post error:', error));

Here I have passed the incorrect url https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/post, which should be https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts.

The error will be something like as shown in the 3rd column image below:

logger.apiError(error)	logger.apiError(error)	logger.apiError('add post error:', error)

4. logger.data

Usage:

• logger.data(header, text, noJsonExpand)

  header: The header to be shown as heading of the output

  text: The output to be shown

  noJsonExpand: A boolean indicating wether to expand the JSON output into more clearer view

• logger.data(text)

  text: The output to be shown

  If only "text" is provided, the default heading would be "DATA" The default value for noJsonExpand is false i.e. the output would be expanded

logger.data('User data is:', data)	logger.data('User data is:', data, true)	logger.data(data)
