TFG Logger

Wrapper for the Google Cloud logging winston package. Perfect for use in express applications for logging.

Quickstart

• Wrap app.js in an async
• Create server in server.js
• Create logger with settings in app.js
• Wrap logger in middleware object
• Mount the middleware object, you now have the two logging objects for use throughout your application

// app.js

async function createServer(){
    const TfgLogging                            = require("../../../_npm/tfg-logging/index");
    
    // Create the winston logger for use throughout the application,
    // Logs to console in a correctly formatted way
    const tfg_logger = TfgLogging.makeLogger("webber-aio" + '-service',{
        environment: env
    });
    
    // Make middleware for use in routing, 
    var mw_logger = await TfgLogging.makeMiddleware(tfg_logger,{
        gcp_key_file: path.join(__dirname,"..",  ".credentials", "/gcloud_auth_" +  env  + ".json"),
        serviceContext: {
            service: "Global"
        }
    });
    
return app;

}

// server.js

#!/usr/bin/nodejs
var debug = require('debug')('my-application');

async function main(){
    
    var app = await require('./src/app');
    app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);

    var server = app.listen(app.get('port'), function() {
      debug('Express server listening on port ' + server.address().port);
    });
}

main();

Features

• Includes the service name in the console log - great to filter between multiple services in a single log file
• Prints the stacktrace to the console (bugfix!)
• Sends the logs to GCP
• Nicely formats requests in Stackdriver, includes all logs within a request and the response code
