a pretifier for pino logger json-output based on pino-pretty.
A terminal pino json-stream beautifier, based on pino-pretty
Given that your svr.js uses pino and emits json-stream to stdout, then:
``
node svr.js | pino-prettierinstallation
`
npm i -g 'pino-prettier'
After which, your machine has learnt a new command, to which you may pipe the stdoutput of your pino logger program.
`
npm i 'pino-prettier'
After which you may use it in your package.json scripts.
e.g.:
`
"scripts": {
...
"run": "node svr.js",
"run:pretty": "node svr.js | pino-prettier",
...
},
? which uses colors instead of the noisyjson.stringify
- timestamp is "humanized" as just
- the log channel is part of the formatted main line, and colorized with a unique color per channel.
- level field appears first, to make its color distinctive against the indent black, and less confusing with the colorized channels.
- fields are optimized for developer machine (filter out , pid, version, etc)Customization
This first version is customizable as far as CLI arguments supported by pino-pretty: it works by hacking the --config parameter, and injecting it's own config file, and does some hacky stuff on the way.However, every customization that is supported by CLI arguments are stronger than the baked-in config file shipped with this package.
Have fun :)
history
* 3.0.1 - colorization should follow
pino with require('colorette').isColorSupported
* 3.0.0 - modernized dependencies, improve tests, compatibility with modern versions of pino (transport target)
* 2.0.3 - cli command changed from to pino-prettier so it wont collide with the prettier` lint tool.
