Set context

Is it possible to set the context?

I am using the logger in a library which outputs:

2021-02-05T12:58:01.192Z DEBUG [my-module-my-module.js:20803] Hello world

But my-module is actually the client that uses the library not the module from the library and not the service I used the logger within.

I would like what is set what stands in the brackets. E.g. in Nest.js you would do it like this:

import { Logger } from 'ngx-logger';

@Injectable()
class MyService {
  private logger = new Logger(MyService.name);
  
  doSomething() {
    this.logger.log('Doing something...');
  }
}

Or alternatively it could be done like this:

import { Logger } from 'ngx-logger';

@Injectable()
class MyService {
  constructor(private logger: Logger) {
     logger.setContext(MyService.name);
  }
  
  doSomething() {
    this.logger.log('Doing something...');
  }
}

Hi @MickL, I just published v5 that allows you to customise any behavior of the logger and that would be enough for your feature The doc is here : https://github.com/dbfannin/ngx-logger/blob/master/docs/customising.md In your case you would need to customise the metadata.service.ts

Still your feature request is probably something I’ll look into

Feature is available in 5.0.11 See doc here https://github.com/dbfannin/ngx-logger/blob/master/docs/features.md and full example here https://github.com/dbfannin/ngx-logger/tree/master/projects/demo/src/app/custom-instance
