Best practices for logging?

[mboeni]

Hi there

I just wondered how to go about logging in Quasar and/or Vue. I have found very little documentation so far.

Is there a tested/proven approach to setting up logging to be used in development as well as production?

Cheers,
M.

I would like to second this question, and see if the popular logger Winston would be recommended with Quasar (SPA mainly), or something else. Update 11/15/20: Winston looks like a good solution for Electron: just npm install winston and code below works:
// winston logger 11/15/20
import { createLogger, format, transports } from ‘winston’
const logger = createLogger({
level: ‘info’,
defaultMeta: { service: ‘user-service’ },
format: format.combine(
format.timestamp({
format: ‘YYYY-MM-DD HHss’
}),
// format.errors({ stack: true}),
format.splat(),
format.json()
),
transports: [
new transports.File({ filename: ‘C:/temp/templog.log’, level: ‘info’})
]
})
logger.log(‘info’, ‘Hello, World of Winston Logging!’)
logger.info(‘Hello, again, World of Winston Logging!’)

output line: {“message”:“Hello, again, World of Winston Logging!”,“level”:“info”,“service”:“user-service”,“timestamp”:“2020-11-15 20:25:57”}

@mboeni nice question. My ideal logger:

• would be implemented as web worker (it will not be a burden for main browser thread)
• should write data to local indexeddb and then sync (when online) with logging backend service (because even if not online you should have a possibility to log events and review them later)
• should have a possibility to implement plugins for example mouse position heat maps, touch gestures, eye movement, browser capabilities etc.
• the sync protocol should be open so there will be at least one open source backend server in nodejs or python-fastapi and at least one commercial backend with extended analytics etc.
• should have tons of examples, snippets and demos
• should have quasar app extension for… something (?) ok - quasar integration out of the box would be really, really nice

Also very interested in a good logging solution which implements as a web worker
