grunt-logger
Logging data for each Grunt deployment in files
Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-logger --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-logger');
The "logger" task
Overview
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named logger
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
This task will create/append the log file according to log items defined in the logItems section.
grunt.initConfig({
logger{
prod: {
option: {
separator: ','
},
destination: "log/prod.log",
logItems: {
"date": grunt.template.today('yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss'),
"version": "456",
"project": "<%= pkg.name %>",
"environment": "<%= pkg.env %>"
}
},
test: {
destination: "log/test.log",
options: {
separator: ','
},
logItems: {
"date": grunt.template.today('yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss'),
"project": "<%= pkg.name %>",
"environment": "<%= pkg.env %>"
}
}
}
});
destination
Type: String
Mandatory: A string that represent the path and file, where the log should be written. if no file exists a new file will be created. example: 'log/myLog.log'
logItems
Type: Object
Mandatory: Object that holds the items to be added to the log line. only the values of the properties will be added to the log line
so if i want to add a lines like this:
1/1/2000 12:00, project1, test
1/1/2000 12:01, project2, test
so the logItems will look like:
logItems:{
'date': grunt.template.today('mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm'),
'project': '<%= pkg.name %>',
'environment': 'test'
}
Options
options.separator
Type: String
Default value: ', '
A string value that separate between log items.
Usage Examples
See the major example above.
