maclogger

A very basic winston wrapper that duplicate the nodejs console essential API, aka log(), info(), warn(), error()

It is useful for injecting an application-specific logger into a generic function or module, for example

// A nodejs module

var logger = console

var myfunction(param1, optionalLogger) {
    if (optionalLogger !== undefined) {
        logger = optionalLogger
    }
    logger.log("Cool, now we are logging to the app-specific logger if it was passed as a parameter. Otherwise we're still logging to the console")
}


exports = myfunction

installation

npm install maclogger

usage

 
 
var logger = require("maclogger")
 
 
logger.log("blah")	// Just logs to the console
logger.addLogFile("~/logs/myApp.log")
logger.log("blah")	// Logs to the console and to myApp.log
logger.addLogFile({filename: "~/logs/important.log", level: "warn"}) // See winston for list of options https://github.com/winstonjs/winston#multiple-transports-of-the-same-type
logger.log("blah")	// Logs to the console, to myApp.log - but not not to important.log (important.log will only log warnings and errors)
