Status Logger

Manage complex CLI output with arrays and automatically print any changes to stdout via ansi-diff-stream.

WARNING: Awesomeness elsewhere. status-logger was nice but it wasn't enough, it still felt like node but I wanted frontend javascript fun. Introducing... 🥁 ... neat-log. neat-log is much neater and I'd definitely recommend using that. It uses status-logger under the hood.

Example

The example here will initially print:

``
Status Logger Example:
starting...
`

Then once it gets started, it will print the time every second:

`
Status Logger Example:
Time = 10 seconds
`

`js
var output = ['Status Logger Example:', 'starting...']
var log = statusLogger(output)
setInterval(function () {
log.print()
}, 100)
log.print()
start()

function start () {
var sec = 0
setInterval(function () {
sec++
output[1] = Time = ${sec} seconds
}, 1000)
}
`

Run node basic-example.js or node example.js to see full examples. You can find more complex usage in these modules:

API

messages is an array with of lines to print. They will be printed in order with a newline spacer between each. Message arrays are flattened so they can be any mix of nested arrays and strings.
