Meteor Logger

A project to provide runtime configurable log messaging to your meteor apps.

Quick Start

$ mrt add logger

Key Concepts

Allows you to instrument your code both client and server side with log messages like this:

    Logger.log(Logger.Debug, 'Button clicked');
    Logger.log(Logger.Info, 'Data: '+Logger.stringify(data));
    Logger.log(Logger.Error, 'Error: '+Logger.stringify(err));

and then increase or decrease the amount of logging output at runtime e.g. just info, info and error, all etc.

Defaults

Default logging is for info and error messages only to be output - both for the client and server.

Runtime Configuration

Log settings can be change for client and server independently of one another at run time using the RuntimeConfigurationSettings collection (which will be created by this package). For example (at the mongo prompt):

db.runtimeConfigurationSettings.update({_id: 'client'}, {$set: {logMode: '[E]$'}});
db.runtimeConfigurationSettings.update({_id: 'server'}, {$set: {logMode: '[IED]$'}});

NOTE: logMode is a regular expression which will be used to test each log message to see whether or not to output it. Log modes are, as you might expect:

• E: Error
• I: Info
• D: Debug
