## About

Houston is a logging framework designed to be used by several modules. Every module

grabs an instance of the logging with a unique or shared id and write different types

of log items. You can globally manage transports, silence logging types or an entire

logging id.

## Installing

Install using NPM:

    npm install houston

## Usage

    var log = require("houston")("my-module");

    

    log.info("Hello world");

## Features

- Global log access

- Control log format/date format globally

- Colors (std transport detects possible colors)

- Logs devided into uids (module name, section, whatever you want)

- 4 types of logging: info, warn, error, debug

- Ability to silence a specific log uid

- Multiple transports (bundled: std, file, mysql)

- Each transport has it's own options and can be added multiple times (logging to 2 files)

- Each transport has a set of tools

- Filter certain uids for a specific transport (log a specific set of modules to a specific file, only error messages)

## Documentation

No time right now to do it. Check examples, I usually do an example for each feature I develop. Anything you want

to ask, put it in an issue.
