Namespaced logger that Adam said he would like

[octatone]

will write more tests, but this already works

WBLogger.log('io');
var ioLogger = new WBLogger('io');
var schemaLogger = new WBlogger('schema');

ioLogger.log('foobar');

foobar

schemaLogger.dir(someSchema); // (does nothing since log patter 'io' does not match 'schema')

Namespaced instances are cached a la the WL WBCollection.

• [x] move to own node module
• [ ] support env varialbes for setting log pattern (for node)
• [ ] colors via @netroy
• [ ] loglevel support? (this would be a second conditional on the console method - not the namespace)

@adamrenklint

[netroy]

why not create a new module for logging ?

[octatone]

Because I am not smart enough to figure out how to deal with the multiple wb.core dependencies :D Feel free to teach me.

[octatone]

Ideally we would use this everywhere, it does make sense to make a standalone module.

[netroy]

we can do this on monday .. i did some work on coloured prefixes that worked on node as well as browser, we can visit that again.

[octatone]

Cool, yeah, lets sit together and hack out a real module on monday and publish it.

[adamrenklint]

yay :smiley:

[octatone]

Is KartoffelScript a real thing @netroy or another troll module?

[chad]

Any interest in log levels ala https://github.com/jonnyreeves/js-logger/blob/master/src/logger.js ?

[adamrenklint]

ooops :/

[octatone]

Log levels would be good to add for node support.

[adamrenklint]

Maybe something like here? http://smalljs.org/logging/debug/

DEBUG=* node index.js
DEBUG=grep node index.js

[octatone]

Yeah we can add support for env variables, for setting the match pattern LOG=io

Debug doesn't make sense to me as although you might use this for literal debugging, it's just a wrapper for all console methods, including timing, info logging etc. It's more all purpose.

[adamrenklint]

Yeah, a LOG env variable makes more sense

[octatone]

Ze code ist mein!!!
