Introduction to Firebase Tools Logger

The firebase-tools-logger is an incredibly versatile logging utility designed to streamline the process of logging in applications using Firebase. It offers various logging levels, making debugging and monitoring significantly more manageable. This comprehensive guide provides detailed insights into dozens of useful APIs that firebase-tools-logger offers, along with practical code snippets to kickstart your implementation.

Getting Started

First, you need to install the firebase-tools-logger package. Here’s how you can do it:

npm install firebase-tools-logger

Basic Usage

Here’s a simple example of how to use the logger:

const logger = require('firebase-tools-logger');
logger.info('This is an informational message');

Logging Levels

The firebase-tools-logger provides various logging levels for different kinds of messages:

Debug

Used to log detailed debugging information:

logger.debug('Debug message with data', { key: 'value' });

Info

Informational messages that highlight the progress of the application:

logger.info('This is an informational message');

Warn

Potentially harmful situations:

logger.warn('This is a warning message');

Error

Error events that might still allow the application to continue running:

logger.error('This is an error message');

Fatal

Very severe error events that will presumably lead the application to abort:

logger.fatal('This is a fatal message');

Customizing Logger

You can customize the logger to suit your needs:

const options = {
  level: 'debug',
  transports: [
    new logger.transports.Console(),
    new logger.transports.File({ filename: 'combined.log' })
  ]
};

const customLogger = logger.createLogger(options);
customLogger.info('This is a custom logger');

Implementing in an Application

Below is a simple application demonstrating the integration of firebase-tools-logger:

const express = require('express');
const logger = require('firebase-tools-logger');

const app = express();
const port = 3000;

app.use((req, res, next) => {
  logger.info(`Received request: ${req.method} ${req.url}`);
  next();
});

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.send('Hello World!');
  logger.debug('Hello World endpoint was hit');
});

app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
  logger.error('Server error', err);
  res.status(500).send('Server Error');
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  logger.info(`App listening at http://localhost:${port}`);
});

With these examples, you can effortlessly integrate firebase-tools-logger into your applications to enhance logging and debugging processes. Leveraging this tool can significantly simplify the management of logs and identification of issues.
