Usage

import { logger } from '@ping-identity/effects-logger';

// Initialize the logger with a specific log level
const log = logger({ level: 'info' });

// Basic usage
log.info('Application started');
log.error('An error occurred:', new Error('Something went wrong'));

// Multiple arguments
log.debug('User data:', { id: '123', name: 'John Doe' });

Log Levels

The logger supports the following log levels (in order of severity):

1. error - Critical errors that may cause the application to fail
2. warn - Warnings that don't interrupt application flow but require attention
3. info - General information about application flow
4. debug - Detailed information for debugging purposes
5. none - No logs will be output

When a log level is set, only messages of that level or higher severity will be displayed.
