logShim

To allow libaries to participate in logging without dictating anything about that logging system.

'use strict';

logShim is an indirection layer. Call it with your moduleName (required) and:

  1. If a logger object is set, it will return that.
  2. Next, if loadLogger(), returns something, it will return that.
  3. If neither of these returns anything it will return noopLogger, which does nothing.

Note: shim._fix() ensures that any object returned from this method has all the required functions. See _requiredKeys below.

var shim = module.exports = function logShim(moduleName) { if (!moduleName) { throw new Error('moduleName is required!'); } if (shim.logger) { return shim._fix(shim.logger); } var loaded = shim.loadLogger(moduleName); if (loaded) { return shim._fix(loaded); } return shim._noopLogger; };

Set logger to override everything else - this object (after a _fix() of course) will be passed to all logShim users

shim.logger = null;

_defaultLoad first tries to load winston, then bunyan, then debug, then log4js.

shim._defaultLoad = function _defaultLoad(moduleName) { var logger = shim._loadWinston(moduleName); if (logger) { return logger; } logger = shim._loadBunyan(moduleName); if (logger) { return logger; } logger = shim._loadDebug(moduleName); if (logger) { return logger; } return shim._loadLog4js(moduleName); };

Override this to install logic to run when a logShim user requests their log object.

shim.loadLogger = shim._defaultLoad;

Multi-version compat

If multiple versions of this library are loaded by a hierarchy of various libraries, you won't be able to customize the logging for all of them - only the version you install directly. logShim registers itself on global[pkg.name][pkg.version], giving you access to all loaded shims.

var path = require('path'); var pkg = require(path.join(__dirname + '/../../package.json')); shim._version = pkg.version; var registry = global[pkg.name] = global[pkg.name] || {}; var version = registry[pkg.version] = registry[pkg.version] || []; version.push(shim); shim.getAllVersions = function getAllVersions() { return Object.keys(registry); }; shim.applyToVersion = function applyToVersion(version, fn) { return registry[version].forEach(fn); }; shim.countAll = function countAll() { var count = 0; shim.getAllVersions() .forEach(function(version) { var list = registry[version]; count += list.length; }); return count; };

Specific loggers

_loadWinston loads a logger from the winston node module if it is installed

shim._loadWinston = function _loadWinston(moduleName) { var winston = shim._tryRequire('winston'); if (!winston) { return; } return winston.loggers.get(moduleName); };

_loadBunyan loads a logger from the bunyan node module if it is installed

shim._loadBunyan = function _loadBunyan(moduleName) { var bunyan = shim._tryRequire('bunyan'); if (!bunyan) { return; } var logger = bunyan.createLogger({name: moduleName}); logger.verbose = logger.debug; return logger; };

_loadDebug loads a logger from the debug node module if it is installed

shim._loadDebug = function _loadDebug(moduleName) { var debug = shim._tryRequire('debug'); if (!debug) { return; } var logger = debug(moduleName); var result = {}; shim._requiredKeys.forEach(function(key) { result[key] = logger; }); return result; };

_loadLog4js loads a logger from the log4js node module if it is installed

shim._loadLog4js = function _loadLog4js(moduleName) { var log4js = shim._tryRequire('log4js'); if (!log4js) { return; } var logger = log4js.getLogger(moduleName); logger.verbose = logger.debug; return logger; };

Helper methods

function noop() {} shim._requiredKeys = ['verbose', 'info', 'warn', 'error'];

if key is a function on logger, we return true

shim._check = function _check(key, logger) { return logger[key] && typeof logger[key] === 'function'; };

_fix ensures that every logger has all the required methods.

shim._fix = function _fix(logger) { shim._requiredKeys.forEach(function(key) { if (!shim._check(key, logger)) { logger[key] = noop; } }); return logger; };

You get _noopLogger when logging packages are installed - a logger that does nothing.

shim._noopLogger = shim._fix(function noopLogger() {});

_tryRequire allows us to load non-dependency optional node modules

shim._tryRequire = function _tryRequire(module) { try { return require(module); } catch (e) {} };
