tracing-log

A simple tracing logger.

It will include FILE_NAME:LINE_NUMBER:FUNCTION_NAME in each log line.

npm install tracing-log

Usage:

Logging:

const tl = require('tracing-log')

// create a log object
const log = tl.gen_logger("some_identifier")


// use log functions:

log.error("some error msg")
log.warn("some warn msg")
log.info("some info msg")
log.debug("some debug msg")

Setting log level:

tl.level = tl.INFO

Setting a custom logging function:

tl.set_log_function((level, msg) => {
   console.log(`${m().format("HH:mm:ss.SSS")} ${tl.levels[level]} ${msg}`)
})

     2  const tl = require('./index.js')
     3  const m = require('moment')
     4
     5  console.log("------------------")
     6
     7  const log = tl.gen_logger("steam_engine")
     8
     9  log.error("<error> something bad happened")
    10
    11  function bla() {
    12      log.warn("<warn> inside bla: something bad happened")
    13      ble()
    14  }
    15
    16  function ble() {

    18      bli()
    19  }
