options
You can set desired loglevel...
log.setLevel('debug'); // default: 'info'. possible values: 4, 'debug', 3, 'info', 2, 'warn', 1, 'error', 0, 'silent'... and you can disable printing of timestamps, severity and colors
log.setTimestamp(false);log.setSeverity(false);log.setColor(false);aliases
made for humans...
log('...'); // is an alias of log.info('...');log.warning('...'); // is an alias of log.warn('...');log.err('...'); // is an alias of log.error('...');change styling
if you want another timestamp format overwrite the log.ts function...
log.ts = function () { // seconds since epoch return '' + Math.floor((new Date()).getTime() / 1000);};... if you want to change the severity strings overwrite log.map properties
log.map.debug = 'DEBUG:';log.map.info = 'INFO:';log.map.warn = 'WARNING:';log.map.error = 'ERROR:';custom log targets
if you want to log in a file or smth you can just overwrite the methods log.stdout, log.stdwrn and log.stderr with your own logging function.
log.stderr = log.stdwrn = log.stdout = function () { fs.appendFile('log.txt', Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments).join(' '));};license
