A simple console logging library for deno.

Hey there! 👋 I'm Joshua, a budding developer who's returning to software development after a hiatus. Before lockdown, I was studying software engineering in university, along with information systems on the side. But I decided to take a detour since remote classes were not giving...

Currently, I'm working as a cybersecurity analyst, with a focus on infrastructure auditing, fixing vulnerabilities, and automating processes. 💪✨ I'm hopeful that I will return to university in the near future.

loggy's Issues

Shorten status indicators to leave more room for logged messages

At the moment, status messages take up 7 characters of console width. This is a lot, especially if a console's width is limited to 80 characters. Think of the embedded devices!

I propose we shorten status messages to save space and improve visual clarity. Here are some examples of what I have in mind:

[+] Positive change.
[-] Negative change.
[ ] Generic log message.
    Alternative generic log message (notice how there's no status but message is still aligned).
[!] Critical event.
[i] Informational message.
[E] Error.

*Note that timestamps have been omitted in the examples above.

Add debug log type

Can have status of DBG and all text can be gray so that typical log output stands out from the debug output.

Optionally disable time

This will require making a decision. Either I can make an optional parameter for logging functions to enable/disable time output, or restructure the module as a class with a constructor to define options during initialization... 🤔
