The plugin produces beautiful output like this:
Ora Integration
beautylog wraps the excellent ora module from npm to better work with beautylog. In general that means that you can log persistent messages WHILE you are actually having an active Ora object. beautylog handles all the fuss for you.
var myOra = new beautylog.Ora("my awesome text", "blue");
myOra.start();
beautylog.info("some persistent text") //does not disturb myOra
console.log("something") // even this works because console.log is monkeypatched by beautylog
myOra.text("some updated text");
myOra.stop();
Console Tables
beautylog allows displaying data in nice tables for better overview.
Note: This only works only in nodejs for now.
There are different types of tables.
Custom
var beautylog = require("beautylog");
var myTable = beautylog.table.new("custom",["Heading1".blue,"Heading2".blue,"Heading3".blue]); // type "custom"
myTable.push(["check 1","success"]); // adds a row the myTable
myTable.push(["check 2","error"]); // adds a row the myTable
myTable.push(["check 3","error"]); // adds a row the myTable
myTable.print(); //prints myTable to the console
Checks
var beautylog = require("beautylog");
var myTable = beautylog.table.new("checks"); // type checks
myTable.push(["check 1","success"]); // adds a row the myTable
myTable.push(["check 2","error"]); // adds a row the myTable
myTable.push(["check 3","error"]); // adds a row the myTable
myTable.print(); //prints myTable to the console
The table from the code with type "checks" above looks like this:
