Custom logger and console.log output

Hi,

I have implemented a custom logger and it arrives there. I wanted to do all my logging in my custom logger because i dont want any output to the console. Right now i am seeing…

ngx-logger.js:228 2018-10-31T14:18:45.675Z ERROR [main.js:4864] THIS WAS ERROR

2018-10-31T14:18:51.650Z INFO [main.js:4866] THIS WAS INFO

ngx-logger is logging to the console, is it possible to turn this off ?

I have my custom logger

import { NGXLoggerMonitor, NGXLogInterface, Levels } from "ngx-logger"

export class MyLoggerMonitor implements NGXLoggerMonitor {
  onLog(log: NGXLogInterface) {
    debugger
    //console.log("myCustomLoggerMonitor", log)
  }
}

and my main logger service, where I inject NGXlogger

  constructor(private logger: NGXLogger) {

    this.logger.registerMonitor(new MyLoggerMonitor())

    this.logger.updateConfig({ level: NgxLoggerLevel.INFO })

    this.logger.error("THIS WAS ERROR")
    this.logger.debug("THIS WAS DEBUG")
    this.logger.info("THIS WAS INFO")

I basically have wrapping methods ie…

  debug(message: string, ...additional: any[]) {
    this.logger.debug(message, additional)
  }

  info(message: string, ...additional: any[]) {
    this.logger.info(message, additional)
  }

and I set this up in my core module -imports, like so

    LoggerModule.forRoot({ level: NgxLoggerLevel.OFF })

As I say, it does work, it arrives inside my custom logger when I do a logger.info for example BUT the it still does a console.log

Can this be turned off in production, I can’t set the log level to OFF as then my custom logger doesn’t get activated.

Any ideas - thanks in advance

@appsolutegeek, this is by design. Updated the config is meant to completely overwrite the current config. We want to be explicit. There would be ambiguity if we were to just extend the config.

We do provide a method called getConfigSnapshot(), so if you wanted to update a single value, you could just

const config = this.logger.getConfigSnapshot();
config.level = NgxLoggerLevel.INFO;
this.logger.updateConfig(config);
