Simple node logging module, that supports terminal coloring and writing to files

Getting Started

const Logging = require("@hibas123/nodelogging").Logging;

Logging.log("Hello there");

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

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

NodeLogging can work without any configuration, but it may be useful to change the log output folder.

Todo so you are capable of creating own instances of the LoggingBase class

   const CustomLogging = new LoggingBase({
      name: "custom",
      logfile: "./logs/test.log",
      errorfile: "/var/log/custom.err",
      console_out: false
   });

The name property prefixes the console output with the name. Also if no logfile or errorfile is created the following standard values are used:

./logs/all.{name}.log ./logs/error.{name}.log

To not use any logfiles just set the values to null.
