Capped Log for Node.js. A compact library with no dependencies.

Capped logs are fixed-size collections of messages that work in a way similar to circular buffers: once a collection fills its allocated space, it makes room for new messages by overwriting the oldest messages in the collection.

Installation

npm install caprese

Quick Example

var Caprese = require('caprese'); 

var config = {size: 1024};
var cap = new Caprese('./log.cap', config);
cap.add(Caprese.INFO, 'My log message.');

Query

## Configuration 
var config = {
    overwrite: false,
    resident: true,
    size: 1024
}
  • overwrite - Create new capped log file even if one already exist.
  • resident - Create new capped log in memory. All data are lost on process exit.
  • size - Size of capped log file in bytes. Optional. Default value is 1MB. Minimum value is 15 bytes (for one empty message). Maximum value is 4GB.
 ## Caprese

Open a capped log. If file doesn't exist, new capped log is created.

Arguments

  • file - Path to capped log file. Optional.
  • config - Config. Optional.
  • callback(err) - A callback which is called after capped log has loaded, or an error has occurred. Optional.

Example

var cap = new Caprese()                                           // create 1MB resident capped log
var cap = new Caprese('./file.cap')                               // create 1MB capped log
var cap = new Caprese('./file.cap', {size: 1024})                 // create 1KB capped log
var cap = new Caprese('./file.cap', {size: 1024}, function() {})  // create 1KB capped log and call a callback function
var cap = new Caprese({size: 1024})                               // create 1KB resident capped log
var cap = new Caprese({size: 1024}, function() {})                // create 1KB resident capped log and call a callback function
var cap = new Caprese(function() {})                              // create 1MB resident capped log and call a callback function
var cap = new Caprese('./file.cap', {size: 1024, resident: true}) // create 1KB resident capped log
### add(type, message, [callback])

Add message to capped log.

Arguments

  • type - Message type (1 - info, 2 - warning, 3 - error)
  • message - Message. Max 65535 bytes in utf8 encoding.

cap.add(Caprese.ERROR, 'My error message.', function(err) {
    // ...
});
### close()

Arguments

  • callback(err) - A callback which is called after log has closed, or an error has occurred. Optional.

Example

cap.close(function(err) {
    // ...
});
### count()

Return number of messages in capped log.

Example

console.log(cap.count());
### select()

Return Query object to query messages from capped log.

var query = cap.select();
## Query

Query messages from capped log. Each method return query, so calls can be chained.

Example

cap.select().top(1).desc().go(function(err, results) {
    // ...
});
### asc()

Tell query to return messages in ascending order.

Example

cap.select().asc();
### desc()

Tell query to return messages in descending order.

Example

cap.select().desc();
### go() / toArray()

Return messages.

Example

cap.select().go(function(err, results) {
    // ...
});
### top() / limit()

Tell query to return only first X messages.

Arguments

  • limit - Limit of messages to return.

Example

cap.select().top(limit);
### where() / filter()

Tell query to filter messages.
