Log-Tonic is a powerful and flexible logging utility for Node.js and TypeScript projects. It allows you to easily manage and format log messages across different features or modules within your application, with customizable prefixes, suffixes, and time formats.

• Easy Initialization: Initialize once with global settings for your entire application.
• Feature-Specific Logging: Create loggers tailored for specific features or modules.
• Customizable Message Format: Add optional prefixes and suffixes to log messages for better readability.
• Support for Multiple Log Levels: Includes support for debug, info, and error log levels.
• TypeScript Support: Fully typed with .d.ts files included for better integration in TypeScript projects.

You can install Log-Tonic via npm:

npm install log-tonic

Initialize the logger at the start of your application with the desired configuration:

import { LoggerFactory } from 'log-tonic';

LoggerFactory.initialize({
  level: 'debug',
  appName: 'MyApp',
  timeFormat: 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss', // Custom time format using date-fns
  messageFormat: { prefix: '--> INFO: ', suffix: ' <-- END' } // Optional custom prefix and suffix
});

Create a logger for a specific feature or module within your application:

const authLogger = LoggerFactory.createLogger('AuthService');

authLogger.info('User login successful');
authLogger.error('User login failed');
authLogger.debug('User login attempt with username "admin"');

• level: Sets the global log level. Available options are debug, info, error.
• appName: The name of your application (default is MyApp).
• timeFormat: The format for timestamps, using date-fns format tokens (e.g., yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss).
• messageFormat: Optionally set prefix and suffix to wrap your log messages (e.g., { prefix: '--> INFO: ', suffix: ' <-- END' }).

const paymentLogger = LoggerFactory.createLogger('PaymentService');

paymentLogger.info('Payment processed successfully');
paymentLogger.error('Payment failed');
paymentLogger.debug('Processing payment for user ID 123');

This example will produce logs formatted like:

2024-08-11 13:45:30 [MyApp] [PaymentService] INFO: --> INFO: Payment processed successfully <-- END
