Log Viewer SDK for Node.js

The Log Viewer SDK for Node.js allows you to capture and log events from your Node.js application to the Log Viewer platform so you can monitor and analyze your application's performance and behavior from the Log Viewer UI. Its built with a worker-based architecture, ensuring the main thread remains unaffected. Check out the Log Viewer platform for more information.

Features

- Non-blocking logging: Uses worker threads under the hood.
- Flexible: Fits most logging needs.
- Environment-aware: Logs events with environment context (production, staging, development).
- Scalable: Handles high-frequency logging efficiently.
- TypeScript ready: Fully typed for a better developer experience.
- CommonJS and ESM: Supports both CommonJS and ESM module systems.

Installation

Install the package via npm:

``bash
npm install log-viewer-sdk-node
`
