Package Exports

@slack/logger
@slack/logger/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@slack/logger) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Slack Logger

The @slack/logger package is intended to be used as a simple logging interface that supports verbosity levels.

Requirements

This package supports Node v18 and higher. It's highly recommended to use the latest LTS version of node, and the documentation is written using syntax and features from that version.

Installation

$ npm install @slack/logger

Usage

This package exports a ConsoleLogger class, a generic Logger interface and a LogLevel enum. The source code is short (~150 lines of code), so check out src/index.ts for details, but the ConsoleLogger API mimics the default node console API with three additions:

getLevel(): returns the currently-specific LogLevel of the logger.
setLevel(LogLevel): sets the LogLevel of the logger.
setName(string): sets a prefix to display in logs. Useful if you have multiple loggers active.

Example

This short snippet shows various Logger levels and customized labels:

const { ConsoleLogger, LogLevel } = require("@slack/logger");

const logger = new ConsoleLogger();

logger.error("a problem happened");
logger.warn("might need attention");
logger.info("take note of this");
logger.debug("or dig into details");

logger.setName("HAL");
logger.setLevel(LogLevel.DEBUG);

logger.info("what an observation");
logger.debug("i am so interested");

When run, messages that match the following values are logged:

[ERROR]   a problem happened
[WARN]   might need attention
[INFO]   take note of this
[INFO]  HAL what an observation
[DEBUG]  HAL i am so interested
