winston-couch

winston-pouchdb

A Minimal PouchDB transport for winston.

Setup

npm install winston --save
npm install winston-couch --save

var winston = require('winston');
var winstonCouch = require('winston-couchdb').Couch
 
var logger = new winston.Logger();
logger.add(winston.transports.Couch, {
    pouchOptions: 'http://localhost:5984/myLoggingDatabase',
});

The pouchOptions will directly be passed to the PouchDB Constructor, so look on pouchdb.com for further information. I only implemented the log function, cause at the moment I don't need more. Feel free to implement missing stuff and send a pr. Would make the whole world a bit better. =)

Example Log and How To get them

example log

{
  "_id": "log-1455018843770",
  "_rev": "1-883d63afef47907472826c3af238c015",
  "msg": "logging message stuff hello world",
  "meta": {},
  "level": "info",
  "type": "log"
}

1. before you can get them, setup pouchdb

npm install winston-couch --save

var PouchDB = require('pouchdb');
var db = new PouchDB('http://localhost:5984/myLoggingDatabase');

1. get all logs pouchdb-allDocs

db.allDocs({
  include_docs: true,
  attachments: true,
}).then(function (result) {
  // handle result
}).catch(function (err) {
  console.log(err);
});

1. get all logs in a time range pouchdb-allDocs just add startkey and endkey as properties in format --\uffff

db.allDocs({
  include_docs: true,
  attachments: true,
  startkey: 'log-1455018843770\uffff',
  endkey: 'log-1456000000000\uffff'
}).then(function (result) {
  // handle result
}).catch(function (err) {
  console.log(err);
});

Other Stuff

There is also winston-couchdb but I prefer PouchDB instead of the Cradle CouchDB Client. Also I wanted to have a meaningful id so i don't have to use views, since i really hat em =) Even there is also PouchDB-Find.
