Package Exports

pretty-logger

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 (pretty-logger) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Usage

    var Logger = require('pretty-logger');
    // configure level one time, it will be set to every instance of the logger
    Logger.setLevel('warning'); // only warnings and errors will be shown
    Logger.setLevel('warning', true); // only warnings and errors will be shown and no message about the level change will be printed

    var customConfig = {
        showMillis: true,
        showTimestamp: true,
        info: "gray",
        error: ["bgRed", "bold"],
        debug: "rainbow"
    };

    var log = new Logger(customConfig) // custom config parameters will be used, defaults will be used for the other parameters
    //var log = new Logger(); // you can also do this to accept the defaults

    log.error("An error occurred"); // will be red
    log.warn("I've got a bad feeling about this!"); // will be yellow
    log.info("Something just happened, thought you should know!"); // will be green
    log.debug("The value of x is: " + x); // will be blue
    log.trace("Heres some more stuff to help out."); // will be gray
