Driftwood a dirt simple logging framework for javascript

The following goals of driftwood :

• Logging should be simple, this isn't java we don't need abstract interfaces just a few simple options.
• 4 Log levels thats it.
• Allow exceptions or logs to be sent to a backend server. If an error falls in the forrest and no one hears it did it really happen?

We have a static logger called Driftwood, feel free to call the usual methods on it, debug, info, error.

Driftwood.debug("test"); 

We have one special one, this one will send it to your back end

Driftwood.exception("message")

We have two default environment, development and production. Production only shows errors on the console. Development shows all errors.

Driftwood.env("development"); //Debug and everything

If you need multiple instances of loggers just make a new one.

var my_logger = new Driftwood.logger();
my_logger.env("production");
my_logger.debug("instance logger : Should not see this");
my_logger.error("instance logger : should see this");

To configure log levels

my_logger.log_level("INFO")
Driftwood.log_level("ERROR")

By default any uncaught exceptions in your application's window will goto Driftwood, to manually send one

Driftwood.exception("Message here")
Driftwood.exception(exception_obj)

To configure your backend url. *note this is cross origin safe since we use gets

Driftwood.url("/errors/test?payload=")
