spindle.js

A JavaScript logging library, largely inspired by the Python logging module.

A simple example:

var logger = spindle.Logger.get('foo.bar');
logger.setLevel(spindle.Logger.levels.DEBUG);
logger.debug('a debug message');
// Calls: console.log('[foo.bar] a debug message')
logger.warning('a warning message');
// Calls: console.warn('[foo.bar] a warning message')

Installation & dependencies

Using bower:

$ bower install spindle

Spindle depends on underscore.js.

Usages

Spindle works both with and without AMD (RequireJS).

For more information, see the examples.

Changelog

• Fixed the path to the JavaScript source maps in spindle.js

• returnFirstHandler now defaults to true instead of false:

  # old API:
  Logger.get('foo').debug('call from spindle.js')
  Logger.get('foo', true).debug('call from your code')()
  # new API:
  Logger.get('foo').debug('call from your code')()
  Logger.get('foo').debug('this does nothing') # simple returns a function to be called
  Logger.get('foo', false).debug('call from spindle.js')

• Create tests
• Formatters
