log-worker

A logger which uses the FileSystem API in a WebWorker. For multi-channeled logs.

It uses a bit of trickery to avoid some Web Worker path and origin issues so the index.js is compiled from the files in lib/ using a small build script into a single worker Blob.

Free Tip! Here's a trick to start tailing the last changed log file(s) in osx:

$ find ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/{Chrome\ Canary,Chrome}/Default/File\ System -mmin -5 | grep -E '\d+\/\d+' | sed 's/ /\\ /g' | xargs tail -f

Use-cases

• Share the same log output from two browser tabs.

Installation

$ component install publicclass/log-worker

API

The API follows the Console API as defined in Node.js.

LogWorker.log([data], [...])

LogWorker.info([data], [...])

LogWorker.warn([data], [...])

LogWorker.error([data], [...])

LogWorker.dir(obj)

LogWorker.time(label)

LogWorker.timeEnd(label)

LogWorker.trace(label)

LogWorker.assert(expression, message)

Contribute

To build your own index.js you need node.js and then run:

$ npm i
$ make

And you should have a new generated index.js and a build/build.js which will work in test.html.

Happy coding!
