katch.setup({

});
 
try {
    foo();
    bar();
} catch (e) {
    katch.log.error(e, {
        customParam: 'hello horror'
    });
}
 
//... or using a wrap method
 
katch.wrap(() => {
    foo();
    bar();
}, {
    customParam: 'hello horror'
});
 
katch.on('error', (error, params) => {
    console.log(error, params);
});

Append to log

katch.on('info', (message, params) => {
    console.log(message, params);
});
 
// Debug
katch.log.debug('A debug message', {custom: 1234});
 
katch.on('debug', (message, params) => {
    console.log(message, params);
});
 
// Warn
katch.log.warn('A log message', {custom: 1234});
 
katch.on('warn', (message, params) => {
    console.log(message, params);
});
 
// Fatal
katch.log.fatal('A log message', {custom: 1234});
 
katch.on('fatal', (message, params) => {
    console.log(message, params);
});
 
// Error
katch.log.error(new Error('my error'), {custom: 1234});
 
katch.on('error', (error, params) => {
    console.log(error, params);
});
 
// Trace
katch.log.trace('trace', {custom: 1234});
 
katch.on('trace', (trace, params) => {
    console.log(trace, params);
});

    });
