# better-log

**UPDATE: This is no longer necessary in Node.js 10.x.x as it colors output of `console.log` by default.**

console.log wrapper for a bit more readable output in Node.js

Tired of seeing hardly readable outputs like this?

Replace them with something more elegant!

## Usage

### Patching built-in `console` (API is 100% compatible)

```javascript

require('better-log/install'); // ES6: import 'better-log/install';

console.log({ x: 1, y: 'prop' });

console.error('Something bad happened :(');

```

or

```javascript

require('better-log').install({ depth: 2 }); // optional config

console.log({ x: 1, y: 'prop' });

console.error('Something bad happened :(');

```

#### Restoring native `console.log` and `console.error`:

```javascript

require('better-log').uninstall();

```

### Manual usage as a regular function

```javascript

var log = require('better-log')/* .setConfig({ depth: 2 }) */;

log({ x: 1, y: 'prop' });

log.error('Something bad happened :(');

```

That's it!
