Alternative to the console log which automatically beautifies the output

Solace is particularly useful if you intend:

  • to debug some data.
  • to display some data for a CLI.

Solace has a specific support for string, boolean, number, date, regex, null, void, error, NaN, object, array and will deal with these types in a pleasant way.

By default, the output is expected to be stdout/stderr, but you can override this to implement more advanced logging.

The theme (machine, beautiful, outline) can be changed at runtime, which can be a handy option for the user of a CLI.

Installation

$ npm install --save solace

Usage

import solaceCreator from 'solace';
 
const solace = solaceCreator({
  //standardOut: process.stdout,
  //standardErr: process.stderr,
  //defaultTheme: 'beautiful'
});
 
const value = {
  a: 12
  b: ['jan', 'feb', 'mar'],
  c: true,
  d: new Date()
};
 
solace.log('Some data nicely arranged:');
solace.log(value, {title: 'title', theme: 'outline'});
 

Themes

  • machine: Format the output in a compact manner easily readable by a machine.
  • beautiful: Format the output in a beautiful manner.
  • outline: Format the output with the main outlines. If the data is an array of objects, it may be displayed as a table.
