Logger for node processes and browser applications with transports to Rollbar and Logentries

Introduction

This is an opinionated logger for JS applications:

  • Uses bunyan, a JSON logger, under the hood
  • Transports logs to Logentries and/or Rollbar
  • Universal. Can be used in the browser and Node.js processes

Usage

import Logger from 'we-js-logger';
const log = new Logger({
    name: 'my-logger',
    environment: 'production',
    level: 'debug',
    codeVersion: process.env.SHA_VERSION,
    logentriesToken: process.env.LOGENTRIES_TOKEN,
    rollbarToken: process.env.ROLLBAR_TOKEN,
    scrubFields: ['password'], // blacklist field keys being sent through logger
});

Node.js usage

This package can be used via npm and node with no special considerations.

Browser usage

This package exposes a client build for browser usage. It is referenced in the browser field of package.json, so module loaders that follow this spec will load it easily.

For example, we commonly use webpack to load this module.

Webpack Considerations

TODO document webpack setup

Configuration

See https://github.com/wework/we-js-logger/blob/master/API.md#we-js-loggerutillogger for API documentation

Examples

log.fatal({ err }, 'Application crashing because something terrible happened.');
 
log.error({ err, req }, 'API request failed');
 
log.info({ action }, 'Something relevant happened')
 
log.debug({ event, action }, 'Something useful for developers happened');
 

See https://github.com/trentm/node-bunyan#log-method-api for more detail.

Logentries Integration

More docs coming soon.

Providing the Logger constructor a logentriesToken option enables this transport.

Rollbar Integration

Node

This library will initialize Rollbar See https://rollbar.com/docs/notifier/rollbar.js/#quick-start-server for documentation on setting up Rollbar for node processes.

Browser

For browser usage, this library expects Rollbar to be loaded via their quick-start script tag. This also allows Rollbar to capture any errors before the logger's initialization code, if that's important to you.

See https://rollbar.com/docs/notifier/rollbar.js/#quick-start-browser for documentation on setting up Rollbar for browser applications

Development

In lieu of a formal style guide, please ensure PRs follow the conventions present, and have been properly linted and tested. Feel free to open issues to discuss.

Be aware this module is tested in both browser and node runtimes.
