BROLOG

Brolog is Logger for Angular in Browser like Npmlog.

FEATURE

Out-of-Box Browser Support.(with <script src='//unpkg.com/brolog'></script>)
Out-of-Box Angular & SystemJS Support.(See: brolog-angular-demo project)
Npmlog compatible interface.(i.e. log.verbose('Brolog', 'Hello, %s', 'world!''))
Native TypeScript Support.(With typings)
Node.js Support.(Node.js example)
Support show real line number in browser console.

What I really get frustrated by is that I cannot wrap console.* and preserve line numbers

We enabled this in Chrome DevTools via blackboxing a bit ago.

Loggable Interface

Brolog implementes Loggable:

interface Loggable {
  error   (moduleName: string, message: string, ...args: any[]): void
  warn    (moduleName: string, message: string, ...args: any[]): void
  info    (moduleName: string, message: string, ...args: any[]): void
  verbose (moduleName: string, message: string, ...args: any[]): void
  silly   (moduleName: string, message: string, ...args: any[]): void
}

You can import and use it by:

import { Loggable } from 'brolog'

EXAMPLE

Here's two example:

First example to demo easy to use in browser, and how it looks like npmlog.
Second example to demo integrate with angular DI & SystemJS.

1. Super Easy to use in Browser

You can enable Brolog in your page by simple add the following script tag.

<script src="//unpkg.com/brolog"></script>

<html>
  <head>
    <script src="//unpkg.com/brolog"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Brolog in Browser Demo</h1>
    <script>

      var log = Brolog.instance('verbose')

      log.info('Test', '123 info message')
      log.verbose('Test', '123 verbose message')
      log.silly('Test', '123 silly message(should not appear)')

    </script>
  </body>
</html>

2. Quick Setup to use in Angular

Brolog is written mainly for act as a logger with Angular. Here's how to Inject Brolog in Angular.

install brolog

$ npm install brolog --save
...

setup SystemJS

System.config({
  map: {
    brolog: 'node_modules/brolog/bundles/brolog.js'
  }
})

import

import { Brolog } from 'brolog'

inject to @NgModule

providers: [
  Brolog,
]

inject to constructor

class LogApp {
  constructor(
    private log: Brolog
  ) {}
}

class LogApp {
  testLog() {
    this.log.verbose('Brolog', 'test log:%s', 123)
    // this will log to browser console
  }
}

More details, please see the brolog-angular-demo git repository at here.

BASIC USAGE

Get a out-of-the-box log instance to use it directly.

import { log } from 'brolog'

If fhe environment variable BROLOG_LEVEL is set, that will be used to set log.level() for the global Brolog instance log.

log.{error,warn,info,verbose,silly}

import { Brolog } from 'brolog'

const log = new Brolog()

// additional stuff ---------------------------+
// message ----------+                         |
// prefix ----+      |                         |
// level -+   |      |                         |
//        v   v      v                         v
    log.info('fyi', 'I have a kitty cat: %j', myKittyCat)

log.level(newLevel)

{String} 'silent' | 'error' | 'warn' | 'info' | 'verbose' | 'silly'

The level to display logs at. Any logs at or above this level will be displayed. The special level silent will prevent anything from being displayed ever.

log[level](prefix, message, ...)

level {String} The level to emit the message at
prefix {String} A string prefix. Set to "" to skip.
message... Arguments to util.format

Emit a log message at the specified level.

For example,

log.silly(prefix, message, ...)
log.verbose(prefix, message, ...)
log.info(prefix, message, ...)
log.warn(prefix, message, ...)
log.error(prefix, message, ...)

Environment Variable: `BROLOG_PREFIX`

Example:

Shell

BROLOG_PREFIX="(Contact|Puppet)" node wechaty.js

This will equals to set by code API:
```
log.prefix(/^(Contact|Puppet)$/)
```

TEST

Brolog comes with well test suit to ensure the behavior is expected.

Unit Test

$ npm run unit
...

Unite Test Suite: link

End to End Test

$ npm run e2e
...

End to End Test Suite: link

P.S. running E2E test is based on brolog demo project: git repository
