Logger

Wertik JS allows using logger for logging purpose. Wertik JS uses winston for logging purpose. We choose winston because of its popularity. To setup logger, you need to import useLoggerand useWinstonTransport from wertik.

import wertik, { useLogger, useWinstonTransport } from "wertik-js/lib/"
const devIlyas = async () => {
  wertik({
    port: 1200,
    logger: useLogger({
      transports: useWinstonTransport((winston) => {
        return [
          new winston.transports.Console(),
          new winston.transports.File({
            filename: "info.log",
            level: "info",
          }),
        ]
      }),
    }),
  })
}

• useLogger creates a new winston instance and
• useWinstonTransport returns transports, it expects a function where wertik js passed winston so that you can return your transports.

Let's log an info:

import wertik, {
  useModule,
  useLogger,
  useWinstonTransport,
} from "wertik-js/lib/"

const devIlyas = async () => {
  wertik({
    port: 1200,
    logger: useLogger({
      transports: useWinstonTransport((winston) => {
        return [
          new winston.transports.Console(),
          new winston.transports.File({
            filename: "info.log",
            level: "info",
          }),
        ]
      }),
    }),
    modules: {
      custom: useModule({
        name: "custom",
        useDatabase: false,
        on: function ({ useExpress }) {
          useExpress((exp) => {
            exp.get("/check", (req: any, res: any) => {
              req.wertik.logger.info({ name: "ilyas" })
              res.send("w")
            })
          })
        },
      }),
    },
  })
}

Now go to http://localhost:1200/check and you should see something like this in console:

[DevServer] [Logger] Initialized winston logger
[DevServer] [Module] Initialized module "custom"
[DevServer] Wertik JS app listening at http://localhost:1200
[DevServer] {"level":"info","message":{"name":"ilyas"}}

And go to your file info.log, you will find something like this in your file content:

{ "level": "info", "message": { "name": "ilyas" } }
