How to use with require or import?

+1 on this please!

I'd love to load into my modules in require.js but can't work out how to do it :-(

[jonnyreeves]

You just need to make a require call for the js-logger module:

// CommonJS import
var jsLogger = require('js-logger');

// Usage.
var namedLogger = jsLogger.get('named-logger');
namedLogger.info("hello world!")

If you are using ES6 modules, you can use the import keyword:

import jsLogger from 'js-logger';

I have personally used JSLogger with browserify and webpack; I'm pretty sure I had it working with requirejs back in the day (:

Thanks for reply, so I guess I should be using either browserify or webpack ;-)

However, and this is probably more a lack of understanding about how requirejs works...
How do I set useDefaults() on the logger in my main.js and then have that setting persist on instances of the logger I require into my modules?

The only way I could make it work was by creating a wrapper module around jslogger which has a getter to retrieve the logger instance but I'm guessing that is not what I'm supposed to be doing?

If requirejs works the same as browserify and webpack; then modules are statically imported (in the java sense), so mutations made in one place will be picked up elsewhere, ie: you can import jsLogger in your entrypoint and invoke useDefaults() after which all subsequent invocation of jsLogger will be configured accordingly.
