## Why Consola?
👌 Easy to use<br>
💅 Fancy output with fallback for minimal environments<br>
🔌 Pluggable reporters<br>
💻 Consistent command line interface (CLI) experience<br>
🏷 Tag support<br>
🚏 Redirect `console` and `stdout/stderr` to consola and easily restore redirect.<br>
🌐 Browser support<br>
⏯ Pause/Resume support<br>
👻 Mocking support<br>
👮♂️ Spam prevention by throttling logs<br>
## Installation
Using yarn:
```bash
yarn add consola
```
Using npm:
```bash
npm i consola
```
## Getting Started
```js
const consola = require('consola')
// See types section for all available types
consola.success('Built!')
consola.info('Reporter: Some info')
consola.error(new Error('Foo'))
```
Will display in the terminal:
**NOTE:** Alternatively, you can import consola from source. But don't forget to whitelist it for transpilation:
```js
import consola from 'consola/src/node'
import consola from 'consola/src/browser'
```
## Methods
#### `<type>(logObject)` `<type>(args...)`
Log to all reporters.
Example: `consola.info('Message')`
A list of available types can be found [here](./src/types.js).
#### `addReporter(reporter)`
- Aliases: `add`
Register a custom reporter instance.
#### `removeReporter(reporter?)`
- Aliases: `remove`, `clear`
Remove a registered reporter.
If no arguments are passed all reporters will be removed.
#### `setReporters(reporter|reporter[])`
Replace all reporters.
#### `create(options)`
Create a new `Consola` instance and inherit all parent options for defaults.
#### `withDefaults(defaults)`
Create a new `Consola` instance with provided defaults
#### `withTag(tag)`
- Aliases: `withScope`
Create a new `Consola` instance with that tag.
#### `wrapConsole()` `restoreConsole()`
Globally redirect all `console.log`, etc calls to consola handlers.
#### `wrapStd()` `restoreStd()`
Globally redirect all stdout/stderr outputs to consola.
#### `wrapAll()` `restoreAll()`
Wrap both, std and console.
console uses std in the underlying so calling `wrapStd` redirects console too.
Benefit of this function is that things like `console.info` will be correctly redirected to the corresponding type.
#### `pauseLogs()` `resumeLogs()`
- Aliases: `pause`/`resume`
**Globally** pause and resume logs.
Consola will enqueue all logs when paused and then sends them to the reported when resumed.
#### `mockTypes`
- Aliases: `mock`
Mock all types. Useful for using with tests.
The first argument passed to `mockTypes` should be a callback function accepting `(typeName, type)` and returning the mocked value:
```js
consola.mockTypes((typeName, type) => jest.fn())
```
Please note that with the example above, everything is mocked independently for each type. If you need one mocked fn create it outside:
```js
const fn = jest.fn()
consola.mockTypes(() => fn)
```
If callback function returns a _falsy_ value, that type won't be mocked.
For example if you just need to mock `consola.fatal`:
```js
consola.mockTypes((typeName) => typeName === 'fatal' && jest.fn())
```
**NOTE:** Any instance of consola that inherits the mocked instance, will apply provided callback again.
This way, mocking works for `withTag` scoped loggers without need to extra efforts.
## Fields
#### `reporters`
An array of active reporters.
#### `level`
The level to display logs. Any logs at or above this level will be displayed.
List of available levels [here](./src/types.js).
You can set the log level using the `CONSOLA_LEVEL` environment variable, which must have the numeric log level as its value.
## `logObject`
The `logObject` is a free-to-extend object which will be passed to reporters.
Standard fields:
- `message`
- `additional`
- `args`
- `date`
- `tag`
Extra fields:
- `badge`
## Reporters
Choose between one of the built-in reporters or bring in your own one.
By default `FancyReporter` is registered for modern terminals or `BasicReporter` will be used if running in limited environments such as CIs.
Available reporters:
- [BasicReporter](./src/reporters/basic.js)
- [FancyReporter](./src/reporters/fancy.js)
- [JSONReporter](./src/reporters/json.js)
- [WinstonReporter](./src/reporters/winston.js)
### Creating your own reporter
A reporter (class or object) exposes `log(logObj)` method.
To get more info about how to write your own reporter, take a look into the linked implementations above.
## Types
Types are used to actually log messages to the reporters.
Each type is attached to a _logging level_.
A list of all available default types is [here](./src/types.js).
## Creating a new instance
Consola has a global instance and is recommended to use everywhere.
In case more control is needed, create a new instance.
```js
import consola from 'consola'
const logger = consola.create({
// level: 4,
reporters: [
new consola.JSONReporter()
],
defaults: {
additionalColor: 'white'
}
})
```
## Integrations
### With jest
```js
describe('your-consola-mock-test', () => {
beforeAll(() => {
// Redirect std and console to consola too
// Calling this once is sufficient
consola.wrapAll()
})
beforeEach(() => {
// Re-mock consola before each test call to remove
// calls from before
consola.mockTypes(() => jest.fn())
})
test('your test', async () => {
// Some code here
// Let's retrieve all messages of `consola.log`
// Get the mock and map all calls to their first argument
const consolaMessages = consola.log.mock.calls.map(c => c[0])
expect(consolaMessages).toContain('your message')
})
})
```
### With jsdom
```js
{
virtualConsole: new jsdom.VirtualConsole().sendTo(consola)
}
```
