Bunyan Adaptor

Maps the major Pino / Bunyan logging methods to custom methods.

Enables you to make use of detailed logging within your modules while still falling back to console.log() if no Pino / Bunyan compatible logger has been provided.

Also enables you to map any logging system that's not compatible with Pino / Bunyan to be compatible with them.

Reusable generic types

Apart from the actual adapter, this module also ships with some useful generic TypeScript types, where BunyanLite is the most usable of them.

The BunyanLite type can be used wherever one wants to reference a basic Pino / Bunyan subset. That type can then be fulfilled by Pino, Bunyan, a logger created by this module or by another module implementing the same subset.

All reusable generic types

  • BunyanLite – specifies the lite subset of the Bunyan interface that this module supports
  • BunyanLogMethod – specifies the very simple syntax for the individual log methods
  • BunyanChildMethod – specified the syntax of the child() method

Pino / Bunyan subset that's part of BunyanLite

  • .fatal()
  • .error()
  • .warn()
  • .info()
  • .debug()
  • .trace()
  • .child(data)

Usage

Simple CommonJS example:

const logger = require('bunyan-adaptor')({
  log: console.log.bind(console),
  error: console.error.bind(console),
});

logger.error('Warning');      // Uses console.error()
logger.info('Informational'); // Uses console.log()

Simple ESM example:

import createLogger from 'bunyan-adaptor';

const logger = createLogger({
  log: console.log.bind(console),
  error: console.error.bind(console),
});

logger.error('Warning');      // Uses console.error()
logger.info('Informational'); // Uses console.log()

Also available as a non-default export:

const { createLogger } = require('bunyan-adaptor');
import { createLogger } from 'bunyan-adaptor';

createLogger(options)

Maps options methods to all seven Bunyan log levels.

  • .fatal() – maps to options.fatal and fallbacks to options.error and options.log in that order
  • .error() – maps to options.error and fallbacks to options.log in that order
  • .warn() – maps to options.warn and fallbacks to options.log
  • .info() – maps to options.info and fallbacks to options.log
  • .debug() – maps to options.debug and fallbacks to options.verbose and options.log in that order
  • .trace() – maps to options.trace and fallbacks to options.verbose and options.log in that order

options.log itself fallbacks to console.log()

In addition to the above there's also support for:

  • .child(data) – used to create a child logger. Defaults to built in method, can be overriden using options.child
