loglayer
An abstraction for logging libraries (bunyan / winston / pino / roarr / electron-log / etc) that exposes a dev-friendly API to help you write logs better (by theogravity)
debug
A tiny JavaScript debugging utility modelled after Node.js core's debugging technique. Works in Node.js and web browsers (by debug-js)

Help I have a JavaScript Lib that blows away competition but nobody knows of it
- is meant to be used with your existing loggers
https://github.com/theogravity/loglayer
- I wrote an abstraction layer that lets you write logs with any logging library you want to use
- I created LogLayer, a library to standardize how logs are written in code and wraps around the popular logging libraries out there, allowing you to swap out logging libraries seamlessly

Why write a library?
Number of dependencies: one way to tell if a library is not too challenging to be used as study source is based on the production dependencies count. The fewer the better. For example, I chose debug because it only has 1 dependency (ms), while the rest of the code relies on core NodeJS modules - which is exactly what I was looking for - to learn how to build a library from scratch, not off the shelf libraries with many external deps, which in turn are based on more deps. There you go, dependency hell.

Conditional logging
Another way to solve this is to have the logs in place, but only enable them conditionally. If you enable all the logs are the time, you only get a lot of noise that won't help you. If you are using JavaScript, you can use the package debug to add logs that are active by the DEBUG environment variable.

Has anyone figured out how to enable the millisecond diff feature in the debug package?
I'm using the debug package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug, but some reason I don't see millisecond diffs, which would be really useful.

What is the DEBUG 🐛 environment variable in Node.js, and how to use it?
Although it's used by Express, it's indeed more broadly, the way a popular NPM package called debug works, which is used internally in Express too. Under the hood, the debug package expects the DEBUG environment variable to determine what debug messages to print (could be on the console, or into a file, or into stdout to be collected by a log aggregator service).

Automating console logs for dev but removing for prod?
Finally, if they're logs you want to be able to inspect in production without printing them to the console by default, you can use debug.

Is it bad practice to log within a shared library?
Use the [debug npm library](https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug) to disable your logging unless someone provides the right environment variable (e.g. DEBUG=* which enables all logging)
