The best alternative to the console.log statement

Beautiful Logger for Node.js

The best alternative to the console.log statement

I love using console.log but it is difficult to record all the log information. I have implemented a small colored variant with tags, colors, messages of various errors and write to file logs in .json / txt format.

Resources: [NPM] [GITHUB]

Features

[] Easy to use
[] MIT License
[] The best alternative to the console.log statement
[] Write stdout logs to file (supported format: text/log and json)
[] The JSON logs format is compatible with pinojs
[] Translations: (Help me )

Installation

In your node project run: npm install @ptkdev/logger --save
Usage:

const Logger = require("@ptkdev/logger");const logger = new Logger();logger.info("message");

You can set options to new Logger(options); example:

const Logger = require("@ptkdev/logger");const options = {    "language": "en",    "colors": true,    "debug": true,    "info": true,    "warning": true,    "error": true,    "sponsor": true,    "write": true,    "type": "log",    "path": {        "debug_log": "./debug.log",        "error_log": "./errors.log",    }};const logger = new Logger(options);logger.info("message");
