# better-logging

![demo output of better-logging in action](images/output.png)

Out of the box Javascript comes five different standardized logging types. However, as it stands only browsers are taking advantage of these different methods of logging. `better-logging` aims to improve the default logging experience of any node application, it is designed to be a drop in replacement for the default logging methods. 


Since `better-logging` only decorates the default logging methods you won't lose any functionality provided by other tooling. `better-logging` is not meant to be the be all and end all of node.js logging. It is just supposed to increase the usefulness of the default logging methods.

**Install:** [`npm i better-logging`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/better-logging)

---

```js

// Default in node.js

console.debug('foo'); //  foo

console.log('foo'); //    foo

console.info('foo'); //   foo

console.warn('foo'); //   foo

console.error('foo'); //  foo

// With better-logging

require('better-logging')(console);

console.debug('foo'); //  [11:46:35.294] [debug] foo

console.log('foo'); //    [11:46:35.296] [log] foo

console.info('foo'); //   [11:46:35.296] [info] foo

console.warn('foo'); //   [11:46:35.298] [warn] foo

console.error('foo'); //  [11:46:35.298] [error] foo

console.line('foo'); //   foo

```
