Private logger property

It would be nice if the logger property would be protected instead of private; that would allow its use in the init function.

I just published 1.3.3 which makes the logger protected.

I understand perfectly what you are saying, but I have an unwanted dependency that is not on my class; let me give you an example. I have in my operator.ts implementation of the Operator:

import Operator from '@dot-i/k8s-operator';

export default class MyOperator extends Operator {
    protected async init(): Promise<void> {
        this.logger.info("default logger"); // Property 'logger' is private and only accessible within class 'Operator'.
    }
}

In my index.ts file I have this:

import winston from 'winston';
import MyOperator from './components/operator';

const logger = winston.createLogger({
    level: 'info',
    transports: [new winston.transports.Console()],
});

const operator = new MyOperator(logger);
operator.start();

In my case, the logger is shared between other components (like a web component); I have only one definition for the logger. If the property would be protected, I wouldn’t need to export the logger from anywhere, and I wouldn’t need to override the constructor of my operator class. Also, if the attribute is already in the class, why not use it? Also, the default constructor works just fine; I don’t need to implement that either 😃

Does it make sense?
