console-logtron
A console logger with a logtron interface.
Example
This logger is designed for scripts and one off programs.
It has a logtron compatible interface and writes to STDOUT.
var ConsoleLogtron = require("console-logtron");
var logger = ConsoleLogtron('mylibrary');
logger.debug('some fixed string', { some: 'meta object' });
logger.info('some fixed string', { some: 'meta object' });
logger.warn('some fixed string', { some: 'meta object' });
logger.error('some fixed string', { some: 'meta object' });It writes all logs to stdout using new line JSON
Alternatives
Warning: This a logger for scripts! Not a default logger.
If you want to add a default logger to your dependencies
then I strongly recommend you use null-logtron
Alternatively, if you want a logger meant for tests then I strongly
recommend that you use debug-logtron
Motivation
You have a script that you want to run once off or on a cron.
You do not want to have to deal with a heavy weight logger, you just want JSON on stdout and redirect it to a file.
This is where console-logtron comes in, it's like console.log
but it will write new line JSON to stdout so you can use jq
to process the log data.
