consolation

This module adds some sprinkles to node's vanilla console.

How it looks

Getting started

Installation

npm install consolation

Basic usage

var consolation = require ('consolation');

var console = new consolation ();

console.ok ('This console.log is OK');
console.info ('This console.log is an INFO');
console.err ('This console.log is an ERROR');
console.warn ('This console.log is a WARNING');

Options

You can pass options when creating the object:

var console = new consolation ({
  title: 'My cool title', use_time: false, use_symbols: false, log_level: 'warn'
});

Available options:

• title [String]: the title of your logger, usually (but not necessarily) the name of the file (default is nothing),
• use_time [Boolean]: whether to display the time on each log line (default true),
• use_symbols [Boolean]: whether to display a nice unicode symbol at the end of each log line (default is true),
• log_level [String]: the minimum level from which logs are displayed (can take values from ['info', 'ok', 'warn', 'err'], and default is 'info'),
• monochrome [Boolean]: output black and white log lines. This is useful when you need to output log lines to a file (default is false).

Tests

Testing is done using mocha and should.js so you might wanna get your hands on those as well:

make install && npm install mocha -g

and then:

make test
