# console-files

Simple Node.js package to write application outputs to files.

It works as a default JavaScript

[`Console`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Console) object,

but with special handlers for `.log` and `.error` methods,

saving output to configured files.

It also treats application fatal errors

(`uncaughtException`), appending error message to file

before exiting process.

## Using

```bash

npm i --save console-files

```

```js

const logger = require('console-files')

/*

Do the stuff

*/

logger.log('Hello console-files!')

/*

More work to do

*/

logger.error(new Error('Keep calm, it is just a test ;)'))

```

## Configuration

It's configurable through the following

environment variables:

Environment variable  | Method   | Default

---                   | ---      | ---

`LOGGER_OUTPUT`       | `.log`   | `./logger.out`

`LOGGER_ERRORS`       | `.error` | `./logger.err`

`LOGGER_FATAL_ERRORS` | -        | `./_stderr`

`LOGGER_SKIP_FATAL`   | -        | -

## Development and production

`console-files` checks the `NODE_ENV`

to work differently for production and development modes:

```js

const devMode = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'

```

- On dev mode it'll output to default console,

unless the `LOGGER_OUTPUT` or `LOGGER_FATAL_ERRORS`

env variable is explicitly set;

- On production mode it'll output only to files;
