Log4ts

Log4ts is a client logging library inspired by Log4j and Log4js.

##Getting started

Installing from npm

npm install log4ts --save
typings install npm:log4ts --save --global

You can now import the majority of the log4ts classes from the 'log4ts' module. E.g.,

import { Logger, LoggerConfig } from "log4ts";

Structure

Logger uses appenders to display entries. Each appender uses it's own separate layout. You can consider layout as a formatter, that translates log entry object to a string of text, that appender should display or pass somwhere else.

You also can pass formatting function directly to appender, without implementing ILayout interface.

Appenders

Currently there are 2 appender:

ConsoleAppender

ConsoleAppender appends logs directly to your browser js console.

It has no configurable options.

Import with import ConsoleAppender from "log4ts/build/appenders/ConsoleAppender";

DOMAppender

DOMAppender appends logs to some DOM element using innerHTML.

It has 2 constructor parameters:

  1. id (mandatory) - id of the element logs will be attached to.
  2. escape_html (optional, defaults to false) - if set true, logs are html-escaped before being attached.

Import with import DOMAppender from "log4ts/build/appenders/DOMAppender";

Layouts

Currently there are 2 layouts:

BasicLayout

BasicLayout formats log entries as follows: {time} {level} [{tag}] - {message}

It has no configurable options.

Import with import BasicLayout from "log4ts/build/layouts/BasicLayout";

HTMLLayout

HTMLLayout formats time, level, tag and message in span, each with it's own color. You can configure colors passing to constructor either the name of the color scheme or exact color mapping.

Available color themes:

  1. light
  2. dark
  3. solarized

Color mapping fields:

  1. time
  2. level
  3. tag
  4. message

Import with import HTMLLayout from "log4ts/build/layouts/HTMLLayout";

Demo
