You can set `options` to `new Logger(options);` example:

```javascript

const Logger = require("@ptkdev/logger");

const options = {

	language: "en",

	colors: true,

	debug: true,

	info: true,

	warning: true,

	type: "log",

	rotate: {

		size: "10M",

		encoding: "utf8",

	},

	path: {

		// remember: add string *.log to .gitignore

		debug_log: "./debug.log",

		error_log: "./errors.log",

	},

};

const logger = new Logger(options);

logger.info("message");

```

## 🎨 Palette

[![Beautiful Logger for Node.js](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ptkdev/ptkdev-logger/nightly/.github/assets/screenshot/ptkdev-logger-palette.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ptkdev/ptkdev-logger/nightly/.github/assets/screenshot/ptkdev-logger-palette.png)

You can customize palette colors with Object `palette` and with hexcode values.

-   `label` is text on left (INFORMATION / ERROR / DOCS, etc..)

-   `text` is message of log on right

-   `background` is background color on left side

```javascript

{

	...

	"palette": {

		"info": { // method name

			"label": "#ffffff", // label on left

			"text": "#4CAF50",  // log message

			"background": "#4CAF50" // background

		},

		"warning": {

			"label": "#ffffff",

			"text": "#FF9800",

			"background": "#FF9800"

		},

		"error": {

			"label": "#ffffff",

			"text": "#FF5252",

			"background": "#FF5252"

		},

		"stackoverflow": {

			"label": "#ffffff",

			"text": "#9C27B0",

			"background": "#9C27B0"

		},

		"docs": {

			"label": "#ffffff",

			"text": "#FF4081",

			"background": "#FF4081"

		},

		"debug": {

			"label": "#ffffff",

			"text": "#1976D2",

			"background": "#1976D2"

		},

		"sponsor": {

			"label": "#ffffff",

			"text": "#607D8B",

			"background": "#607D8B"

		},

		"time": {

			"label": "#ffffff",

			"background": "#795548"

		}

	}

	...

}

```

See folder `examples`, run with `node example.js`.

## 🤹‍♂️ LogRotate

Rotates the file when size exceeds 10 megabytes (optional, default 10M - values: 10B (byte) / 10K (kilobyte)/ 10M (megabyte)/ 10G (gigabyte))

```javascript

...

"rotate": {

	"size": "10M",

	"encoding": "utf8"

},

...

```
