This is simply pino wrapped to match the (bock)[https://npmjs.org/package/bock] API

install

$ npm install --save bock-mock

usage

const options = { appName: 'myAwesomeApp', logLevel: 'warn', toFile: true }
const bock = require('bock-mock')(options)
bock.fatal(new Error('something went wrong'))

api

Bock exports a primary function which returns an instance with methods (debug, info, warn, fatal, setLogLevel, close)

• options (Object - optional)
  • appName (String - optional - default: 'bock') Base name to use for log files (${appName}-${month}-${day}-${year}.json)
  • logBase (String - optional - default: __dirname + '/logs') Path for log files
  • logLevel (String - optional - default: 'debug') Threshold for logging (i.e. if warn it won't log debug or info errors)
  • toConsole (Boolean - optional - default: true) Should log to console
  • toFile (Boolean - optional - default: true) Should log to file
  • whitelist (Array - optional) List of ignored error types / messages

Each of the four methods (debug, info, warn, fatal) accept an Error object, a string, or a function that returns one of those two things. They also accept a second argument (transform) which is a function that will accept as its only argument the final text output to file and/or console, and what it returns will the text value to be logged. There are performance implications to using the transform function so it's advised to limit it's use.

Where const logger = bock([opts]) (i.e. on an instance) the following methods are also available

logger.setLogLevel(string logLevel) Changes logLevel setting on instance

logger.close() Close forked process used for file writing

Additionally, you can choose to use the bock.cached([opts]) which will return the last instance instantiated using the cached method or create a new one with the passed opts (and cache it).
