Yes, that dependency was there by mistake and has been moved to devDependencies in 2.0.11

It is actually also a config option that can be passed to the setup function. Many of the modifiers actually just change the config value under the hood. All production formatters have timestamps by default, only pretty does not so it shouldn't be anything you need to worry about. You can also set timestamps globally in the setup function.

You can install 2.0.11 for the fix now!

It appears I had that mistakenly in the dependencies instead of devDependencies. I'm correcting it now and will release a patch. Thanks for the heads up!

Also, on the topic of timestamps, some of the formatters do have them on by default. The pretty formatter which is mostly for dev does not because its not as necessary. I hope that helps explain that decision :)

As for emoji's, they are off by default and are really only for dev with the pretty logger. You are right in that you probably would not want them in production. You would probably use a different formatter like "standard" or "json" anyway which doesn't allow them.

They may or may not break on Deno or Bun, but most will not work in the browser or if they do they are severely limited in functionality. This library was actually born out of my frustration with trying to generate logs and transport them from the browser. Plus, in my past experience, it was a bit of a pain to use older logging libraries with new SSR frameworks. They also mostly have poor, bolted-on typescript support.

First of all, if that's all you need then by all means, keep doing that. If you need any of the following, maybe consider a library:

- First-class TypeScript support (not bolted-on)

- Wraps and extends the entire standard API

- A convenient chainable API

- Log Listeners for capturing log data

- Middleware support for plugins and transporting logs

- Log annotations such as namespaces, labels, and other meta data

- Four formats supported out of the box:

  - Pretty - Human readable logs that are easy on the eyes
  
  - JSON - Machine readable logs that are compatible with the Bunyan CLI
  
  - Standard - Human readable stdout logs
  
  - Common - Logs that adhere to the Common Log Format
- Everything is customizable and configurable

- Tools for caching, filtering, and recalling logs

- Support for creating log threads to track data across multiple scopes

- Convenient child logger API's

If you look at the readme you'll see adze is 8kb bundled and gzipped. It's ESM so it has tree-shaking support. It's tiny. The Vue dependency is for the docs.

Right now daily file rotation is supported via the @adze/transport-file plugin. Plugins can be made using simple middleware hooks for any of your needs. I'm working on adding more right now for other services like Cloudwatch Logs, Google Logging, Open Telemetry, etc.

It's universal meaning it works in the web browser and the backend without any configuration. All other loggers work in one or the other, or if they work in both the functionality is severely limited. Winston and Bunyan only work server side because they use node fs streams. Pino is primarily designed to be a server side library, but it can run in the browser by using browserify and using limited funcionality.

Of course console methods are universal. This library isn't providing console methods, it's providing enterprise/production level functionality on top of the console.

If you want to use Winston in Sveltekit or the like, you have to wrap browser checks around parts of it, otherwise it will explode when bundled.

Hey everyone,

I had posted about my project https://adzejs.com a couple of years ago and it was met with a lot of interest, so I'm writing about the major v2 update that's just been released to see if anyone is interested.

What makes Adze interesting compared to other logging libraries like pino, bunyan, winston, etc?

Adze is universal. This means that Adze will "just work" in all of your environments. This is especially handy when working with SSR projects like sveltekit, nuxt, next, etc. You can also use Adze with Bun or Deno without any special adaptations or considerations.

Adze 2.x is also smaller (13.29kb minified and brotlied) and faster than the original. Benchmarks put it at generating 100,000 logs in ~700ms.

Version 2 also offers a cleaner API than version 1 as it no longer uses factories and instead uses static class methods.

    import adze from 'adze';

    // Generating a log
    adze.timestamp.ns('foo').log('A log with a timestamp and namespace.');

    // Making a child logger
    const logger = adze.timestamp.ns('foo').seal();
    logger.log('A log with a timestamp and namespace.');

Adze 2.x comes with support for four different types of log formats out-of-the-box. These formats include:

- a human-readable pretty format - a machine-readable JSON format that is compatible with the Bunyan CLI - a format for common logs - and a format for simple stdout logging

Adze 2.x also offers better extensibility support. You can now create custom formatters and custom middleware for modifying log behavior or transporting them to another source (like a file, etc). Log listeners are also still supported.

Changing formats is easy.

    import adze, { setup } from 'adze';

    setup({
      format: 'json', // <- Change with an env var
    });

    adze.withEmoji.success('This is a pretty log!');

Adze 2.x also includes a handy new template literal logging feature for times where you are repeating logs frequently with slightly different messages (like error messages in a catch). Adze offers a new sealTag terminator that will seal your configuration into a template literal tag function to further simplify your logging.

Example

    import adze from 'adze';

    // Let's create a reusable ERR tag with emoji's, timestamps, and the "my-module" namespace.
    const ERR = adze.withEmoji.timestamp.ns('my-module').sealTag();

    try {
      // do something that could fail...
    } catch (e) {
      ERR`Printing my error as an error log! ${e}`;
    }
There is much, much more to Adze than what I can present in this post, but please check it out at https://adzejs.com and let me know what you think! Try it out!

Also, please give it a star to bookmark it at https://github.com/adzejs/adze if you might use it in the future!

I appreciate any feedback as well. This has been a huge labor of love for me and I hope it benefits you all as well.

Thank you!
