Exemple 1 : base use.

Script 1 : Get your logger (where you execute you code)

const Log= require('y-log-io');
var logger=Log.getlogger(jsonPath);
logger.log('some',{data:{txt:'abcd',list:[0,1,2]}},['a','b','c']);

Get logger

Get the logger. This command returns an instance of Input.

/**
get the logger.
@param {string} fileName : path to logs json file OR a registered file alias.
@return {Input} the fake console
*/
YLogIO.getlogger(fileName)

Input

- Properties
  • timeout : int default=500.
    • Minimal read/write period. The logger wont access the json file more than once evry timeout ms.
    • Decrease if you want more responsiveness.
    • Increase if you want to limit rw charge.
  • maxlog : int default=100.
    • maximum logs buffer size. Limits json file size when output is not listening.
    • Low value reduce file size and r/w time, but you may loose outputs.
  • fileName : string read only
    • path to the json file name.


Get Output

Get the logger output. This command returns an instance of Output.

/**
get logger output.
@param {string} fileName : path to logs json file OR a registered file alias.
@return {YL.Output} the console output logger. call logger.start(); to activate.
*/
YLogIO.getOutput(fileName)

Output

- Methods
  • .start : Starts the console output.
/**
activate the console.
*/
Output.start();
- Properties
  • timeout : int default=2000.

    • maximal r/w period (fs.watch leaks fix) forced access to json file if no changes have been detected after timeout ms.
  • splitTimeout : int default=2000.

    • display a different log separator when time between log is greater than splitTimeout ms.
  • startMsg : string

    • The message displayed when the output starts.
  • stackMax : int default=5.

    • displayed stack pile maximum size.
  • show : object

    • .startLine : boolean default=true
      • Shows startMsg.
    • .topLine : boolean default=true
      • Shows log separator.
    • .info : boolean default=true
      • Shows log infos (time method file line).
    • .time : boolean default=true
      • Shows log time.
    • .method : boolean default=true

    • .file : boolean default=true
      • Shows log current file name.
    • .line : boolean default=true
      • Shows log current file line number.
    • .stack : boolean default=true
      • Shows stack pile.


Aliases

Share the same output among files without caring about different pathes by registering an alias.

/**
register an alias name for the logs json file. useful for access in different file pathes.
@param {string} name : alias of the registered file path.
@param {string} fileName : path to logs json file.
*/
YLogIO.register(name,fileName)

The registration could be done only (but at least) once. Event in a one-shot separated script.

const Log= require('y-log-io');
Log.register('my-alias',pathToAJsonFile);
 

You can now call logger and output by their alias.

ex logger:

const logger= require('y-log-io').getlogger('my-alias');

ex output :

require('y-log-io').getOutput('my-alias').start();
