Add timestamps to log messages
See original GitHub issueIn Chrome you can use “Show timestamps” to see timestamps next to your log messages. Unfortunately, this does not work in Node.js. Therefore we should add an option to automatically print timestamps together with the log message.
Proposal
const logdown = require('logdown')
const logger = logdown('MyLogger', { markdown: false, timestamp: true })
logger.log('Hello, World!')
Proposed Output
[2017-03-13 12:15:03.137] MyLogger Hello, World!

It’s great that logdown is extensible! I really like such architecture!
However, I think logging the time is a core functionality of a log library. There is a reason that Google implemented timestamps for
console.log
statements in Chrome.As a compromise it would be great if we can supply a hook for the formatter, which makes it easier to modify texts before they get logged. Here is a great example from js-logger:
Currently I am extending logdown with timestamps like this:
Not actually. The initial idea of the lib was to wrap
console
with a markdown parser and debug compatibility. But again, I’m open to adding a timestamp capability.You don’t have to import
tubo
. That’s is just a wrapper for better pipeline pattern.To create a “ecosystem” is not the goal I first mentioned, but rather keeping the library as simple as possible. And extensible.
But again, timestamp is something that makes sense to have in the library. Go ahead if you fancy implementing it.
