@push.rocks/smartlog-destination-devtools

beautiful logging for the browser

Install

To install @push.rocks/smartlog-destination-devtools, use the following command in your project:

npm install @push.rocks/smartlog-destination-devtools --save

This will add smartlog-destination-devtools as a dependency to your project and you can start using it to enhance your logging in the browser.

Usage

@push.rocks/smartlog-destination-devtools provides a seamless way to output beautified log messages directly to your browser's console, making use of the @pushrocks/smartlog ecosystem for structured and meaningful logging.

Getting Started

First, ensure you have @pushrocks/smartlog installed in your project. If not, install it alongside smartlog-destination-devtools:

npm install @pushrocks/smartlog @push.rocks/smartlog-destination-devtools --save

Now, let's set up the basic usage of smartlog-destination-devtools within a TypeScript project.

Initialization

Import the required modules and initialize Smartlog and SmartlogDestinationDevtools.

import { Smartlog, ISmartlogOptions, ILogContext } from '@pushrocks/smartlog';
import { SmartlogDestinationDevtools } from '@push.rocks/smartlog-destination-devtools';

// Define your log context
const logContext: ILogContext = {
  company: 'Your Company',
  companyunit: 'Your Company Unit',
  containerName: 'YourContainerName',
  environment: 'development',
  runtime: 'browser',
  zone: 'frontend',
};

// Set up Smartlog options
const smartlogOptions: ISmartlogOptions = {
  minimumLogLevel: 'info',
  logContext: logContext,
};

// Initialize Smartlog with options
const smartlogInstance = new Smartlog(smartlogOptions);

// Initialize the DevTools destination
const devtoolsDestination = new SmartlogDestinationDevtools();

// Add the DevTools destination to Smartlog
smartlogInstance.addDestination(devtoolsDestination);

Logging

Now that setup is complete, you can start logging messages. @push.rocks/smartlog uses a structured format for logs, which @push.rocks/smartlog-destination-devtools will beautifully display in the console.

// Log an information message
smartlogInstance.info('This is an informational message', { optional: 'additional data' });

// Log a warning
smartlogInstance.warn('This is a warning message', { check: 'some warning data' });

// Log an error
smartlogInstance.error('This is an error message', new Error('Something went wrong'));

Customization

SmartlogDestinationDevtools class is designed to automatically handle log messages sent through @pushrocks/smartlog and print them to the browser's console in a visually structured and highlighted manner. Currently, it translates different log levels (info, warn, error, note, success) to different styles in the DevTools console.

Since the core feature of smartlog-destination-devtools is to enhance the visual feedback of logs in the development environment, further customization can be achieved by altering the source code of the handleLog method within the class to fit your styling needs or by extending the class with your own implementation.

Advanced Usage

For more advanced scenarios like filtering logs or integrating with other logging systems, refer to the @pushrocks/smartlog documentation, as smartlog-destination-devtools acts as a destination for the logs managed by @pushrocks/smartlog.

---

By integrating @push.rocks/smartlog-destination-devtools, you're equipped to make your browser-based debugging and logging more effective and visually appealing, leveraging the structured logging capabilities of @pushrocks/smartlog.
