Logzly

A simple logger.

Getting Started

Install it:

yarn add logzly
# or
npm i logzly

Then import it where you want to use it.

import { log } from "logzly";

Log Types

The logger has several types with escalating log levels. Each log command requires a topic and optionally takes an object of data as the second argument.

log.trace("Topic.Name", {});
log.debug("Topic.Name", {});
log.info("Topic.Name", {});
log.warn("Topic.Name", {});
log.error("Topic.Name", {});
log.fatal("Topic.Name", {});

Log Levels

The log levels are:

• trace
• debug
• info
• warn
• error
• fatal

If you set your log level at a level above the log type you are logging, it will not be logged:

log.setLogLevel("debug");
log.trace("Trace.Topic"); // Never logs
log.debug("Debug.Topic"); // Logs
log.info("Info.Topic"); // Logs

You can also set the log level by setting the LOG_LEVEL environment variable, but setLogLevel will override it if used.

Filtering

You may set a filter and exclude all logs that do not match the filter.

log.setFilter("Foo.*");
log.info("Bar.Baz"); // Never logs
log.info("Foo.Baz"); // Logs

By default, the filter is set to * which allows all logs. You can also set this using the LOG_FILTER environment variable but setFilter will override it if used.

Metadata

You can set any arbitrary meta data with log.addMetaData()

log.addMetaData({
  foo: "bar",
});

log.trace("Foo.Bar"); // "Foo.Bar" { _meta: { foo: "bar" } }

The log.addMetaData() will extend any previous metadata. log.clearMetaData() will reset the meta object to empty.
