This is a simple and easy to use logging tool, that is also light-weight. It streams dynamically into a concise and pretty format, into .txt file, with all .txt files under one root directory (all done automatically). Simply add the module to your project,create a new instance for each logger you want, and away you go. For example you could create a new logger each for client-side or server-side logging separately, outputted to two txt files. See Usage and Screenshots for more information.

npm install simple-txt-loggerBy default, all .txt log files are placed in a 'logs' folder/directory, which is automatically created in the root folder of the app.
- Create a new logger & log file, and continuously stream items or events to it:
(Arguments are optional)
const logger = new SimpleTxtLogger('<FileName?>', '<Env?>', '<AppName?>'); //Create a logger instance.logger.writeToLogFile(<ItemToLog>); //Logs an item to the loggers current .txt log file.
logger.getPath(); //Output: '<path>/logs/*.txt'.
logger.close(); //Closes stream to the loggers .txt log file.- Create a single data log dump, to log an item or event into a single txt file, one time only:
('Directory' Argument is optional)
logger.dumpToNewTxtFile('<ItemToLog>', '<FileName>', '<Directory?>'); //Create a single item log file.Logging Sample
