npm package: @spot-meetings/backend-logger
Description: Spot's backend logger module.
Author: Spot Meetings
Latest version: 2.3.0

# @spot-meetings/backend-logger

Simple console logger based on [Winston](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston).

## Installation

```sh
npm i @spot-meetings/backend-logger
```

## Usage

### Environments

The environment will be taken from either the `RUNTIME_ENV` or `NODE_ENV` env variables, in that order. This allows you to have different build and running environments.

### Log Level

Service should run with `LOG_LEVEL` environment variable set:

`$ LOG_LEVEL=info node index.js`

Then, the logger will log anything that has lower priority than the `LOG_LEVEL` env variable:

Read more about [Winston's log levels](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston#using-logging-levels) to know what will be logged depending on your `LOG_LEVEL` env variable.

As this module is just a pre-configured instance of Winston, please refer to their [usage documentation](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston#usage) for more details.

### Log Output

To set different output types, set the `LOG_OUTPUT` env var to any of the following:

- `summary`: Just the log message with a timestamp and a label.
- `details`: The above plus detailed information about the log message in JSON format, pretty printed.
- `raw`: The raw, inline JSON message.

### Example

`./some/module.ts`:

```ts
import { createLogger } from '@spot-meetings/backend-logger'

const logger = createLogger('my-service', '127.0.0.1', '1.0.1')

logger.debug('This is not necessary on production.', { hello: 'world' }) // Will not log
logger.info('This is very informational.')
logger.warn('Beware! You\'re about to do a thing.')
logger.error('IT FAILED!')
logger.error('IT FAILED! SEE DETAILS:', {
  extra: 'Yeah, it was bad...',
  error // error object. will log stack as well into stack log property
})
```
