A simple Node.JS module to store logs into Redis List, based on node-redis

Install via NPM npm install simple-redis-logger

Then, import it in your project.

let SimpleRedisLogger = require('simple-redis-logger')

• options - Optional. An object containing any or all of the following options

  • redis - Optional, a node-redis client instance
  • connectOptions - Optional, a node-redis connection option object, check more details here
  • throwErrors - Optional, default is false. If throwErrors is set to false, the module will not throw errors if an error occurs while communicating with Redis server. But it will still throw Errors if an error occurs in getLogs method. And error event will always emit while an error occurs.
  • limitAmount - Optional, the amount of log messages in every list(or called types in this case). Default is null, which means there is no limit on the amount of messages.
  • serviceName - Optional, the prefix of the list. Default is simple-logger.

  To connect to the Redis server, either redis or connectOptions is Required.

• type - type of the message.
• content - Can be string, Object, or Error Object.
  • String: The module will store the original string to the Redis List
  • Object: Using JSON.stringify to convert the Object into String, then store to Redis List
  • Error Object: Module will store myError.message to the Redis List

• type - type of the messages
• from - Optional, the beginning index of the messages you want to get. Default is 0
• end - Optional, the ending index of the messages you want to get. Default is -1

• logs - An array of the logs
  • log - A log Object
    • content - The log contents
    • timestamp - The timestamp of the time when the log is committed.
    • time - A Date Object of the time when the log is committed.

let logger = new SimpleRedisLogger({
    serviceName: 'test_logger',
