Safe JSON Log

Safely log any object. Like JSON.stringify(), but won't error on circular refernce.

DEPRECATED: Use abc-log

Install

npm i safe-json-log

Example Usage

const Log = require('safe-json-log')
const se = require('serialize-error')
const o = {
  name: 'freddy',
  address: {
    street: '1234 lane st',
    city: 'hereshey',
    st: 'PA',
    zip: '19293'
  },
  error: se(new Error('something bad happened')),
  nest: {
    really: {
      deep: {
        stuff: ['one', 2, 'three']
      }
    }
  }
}
o.circular = o
const log = new Log({ level: 'debug' })
log.error(o)
// can be called like JSON.stringify(value, replacer, space)
log.error(o, null, 2)
// we allow omitting replacer
log.error(o, 2)
