Error: Warning: .format() is deprecated in Minilog v2!

[nevf]

Using the Documented example:

var Minilog = require('minilog'),
    consoleBackend = Minilog.backends.nodeConsole;
Minilog.pipe(consoleBackend).format(consoleBackend.formatClean);

I get: [Error: Warning: .format() is deprecated in Minilog v2! Use .pipe(formatter).pipe(final) instead.]

It isn't clear to me what 'final' should be.

Hi, sorry - I've been working on Minilog v2 and updating the docs has taken a while.

The new docs are now online at http://mixu.net/minilog/

To answer your question, here's how you can do this:

var Minilog = require('minilog');
Minilog
  .pipe(Minilog.backends.console.formatClean)
  .pipe(Minilog.backends.console); 

var log = require('minilog')('app');
log.error('Hello world');

e.g. instead of a special cased .format(), just use pipe().

Edit: .pipe(Minilog.backends.console.formatClean), not .pipe(Minilog.backends.formatClean) as I originally wrote.

I've updated my code as follows:

var Minilog = require('minilog');
Minilog
  .pipe(Minilog.backends.formatClean)   // Exception occurs here
  .pipe(Minilog.backends.console); 

var mlog = require('minilog')('clibu_db');
mlog.info( 'Hello Minilog' );    

and am getting:

[TypeError: Cannot call method 'emit' of undefined]

I am using Minilog V2.0.1

Update: Changed to:

.pipe(Minilog.backends.console.formatClean)

resolved this.

Yeah, sorry about that - I'll correct the example above. Looks like the documentation site had the right Minilog.backends.console.* for the formatter.
