# Logging

Simple logging module, that supports terminal coloring and different plugins

## Getting Started

```javascript
const Logging = require("@hibas123/logging").default;

Logging.log("Hello there");
```

There are different Logging levels, that also apply terminal coloring:

```javascript
Logging.debug("Debug message");
Logging.log("Log message");
Logging.warning("Warning");
Logging.error(new Error("To less creativity"));
Logging.error("Just an simple message as error");
Logging.errorMessage("Nearly the same as error");
```

All Logging types except the simple error take as many arguments as you want. These will be joined with spaces and serialized with the node util.inspect function.

## Setup

This logging module doesn't require any setup per default, but sometimes it makes sense to configure a few things.

For example can you disable the console output. This may be helpful, if you insert a custom adapters as described below.

Also you can set a name. All messages that are send with this instance are prefixed by this name.

```javascript
const CustomLogging = new LoggingBase(
   name |
      {
         name: "custom", // default undefined
         console: false, // default true
      }
);
```

## Plugins

There is a Plugin API available, that makes is possible to add custom Logging Adapter.

```javascript
const Demo = new LoggingBase("Demo");
Demo.addAdapter(new DemoAdapter({ color: "rainbow" }));
```

The adapters need to provide a very simple Interface:

```typescript
interface Adapter {
   init(): void | Promise<void>;

   onMessage(message: Message): void;

   flush(sync: true): void;
   flush(sync: false): void | Promise<void>;
}

interface Message {
   type: LoggingTypes;
   names?: string[];
   text: IFormatted;
   date: Date;
   file: string;
}

export interface IFormatted {
   color?: IColors;
   bgcolor?: IColors;
   bold?: boolean;
   italic?: boolean;
   blink?: boolean;
   underscore?: boolean;

   content: string;
}

enum LoggingTypes {
   Log,
   Warning,
   Error,
   Debug,
}
```
