Coding

var getLogger = require('get-log');

getLogger.PROJECT_NAME = 'my-best-app';
// or better: getLogger.PROJECT_NAME = require('./package.json').name;

var logger = getLogger('awesome-name');

logger.info('Let\'s start!');

logger.debug('Current file is %s', __filename);

var uglyLogger = getLogger('ugly-name');

uglyLogger.warn('This a Warning! Next debug log could not be displayed..');

uglyLogger.debug('Please, don\'t print me!');

uglyLogger.error('I\'m an error log, isn\'t it?');
