Custom Logger Library with winston

log.js

const { createLogger, format, transports } = require('winston')
const moment = require('moment')

// set default log level.
const logLevel = 'info'

var logger = createLogger({
  level: logLevel,
  levels: {
    fatal: 0,
    crit: 1,
    warn: 2,
    info: 3,
    debug: 4,
    trace: 5
  },
  format: format.combine(
    format.prettyPrint(),
    format.timestamp({
      format: 'DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm:ss A'
    }),
    format.printf(nfo => {
      return `${nfo.timestamp} - ${nfo.level}: ${nfo.message}`
    })
  ),
  transports: [
    new transports.Console(),
    new transports.File({
      filename: 'bot.log'
    })
  ]
})

// Extend logger object to properly log 'Error' types
var origLog = logger.log

logger.log = function (level, msg) {
  if (msg instanceof Error) {
    var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)
    args[1] = msg.stack
    origLog.apply(logger, args)
  } else {
    origLog.apply(logger, arguments)
  }
}
/* LOGGER EXAMPLES

FYI, this does not work with 3.x version of logger. check this for 3.x version - https://gist.github.com/aabrapp/984834cf319a2c6e965cacc52caccde8

@aabrapp I have updated for 3.x Version.

somehow trace is not working

also it doesnot write the logs into the bot.log

I have corrected the code , write logs into the respective file

const fs = require('fs');
const {
  createLogger,
  transports,
  format
} = require('winston');

const env = process.env.NODE_ENV;
const logDir = 'logs';

if (!fs.existsSync(logDir)) {
  fs.mkdirSync(logDir);
}

const now = new Date();
const logLevel = 'info'

var logger = createLogger({
  level: logLevel,
  levels: {
    fatal: 0,
    crit: 1,
    warn: 2,
    info: 3,
    debug: 4,
    trace: 5
  },
  format: format.combine(
    format.prettyPrint(),
    format.timestamp({
      format: 'DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm:ss A'
    }),
    format.printf(nfo => {
      return `${nfo.timestamp} - ${nfo.level}: ${nfo.message}`
    })
  ),
  transports: [
    new transports.Console(),
    new transports.File({
      filename: `${logDir}/app.log`,
    })
  ]
})

// Extend logger object to properly log 'Error' types
var origLog = logger.log

logger.log = function (level, msg) {
  if (msg instanceof Error) {
    var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)
    args[1] = msg.stack
    origLog.apply(logger, args)
  } else {
    origLog.apply(logger, arguments)
  }
}

module.exports = logger;

module.exports.stream = {
  write: function (message) {
    logger.info(message);
    console.log('message = ', message);
  },
};

hi, look for the same and this is useful.
questions:

1. what is the module.exports.stream for? how to use it?
2. is it possible to capture the caller file, caller function or line number?

thanks!

Working perfect for me. Tks
