Exploring best Node js logging libraries and aggregatorsWritten by Kingsley Ubah️Software development starts with identifying needs and analyzing requirements before designing and developing the software itself After development comes testing deployment and maintenance The testing stage is when we run the code in a development environment check for possible errors and bugs fix them and ensure that the software performs its intended functions correctly before deployment Logging is an important part of software testing It is much easier to debug an application when we know what the mistake is and the exact lines in the code where the issue is occurring In this article we will explore various concepts related to logging in Node js including seven popular logging libraries and aggregators you can use to make debugging easier We will cover Why logging matters in software testing Logging in Node js What is a logging library Pino Bunyan Cabin js Winston Grafana Loki LogLevel Tracer Why logging matters in software testing Syntax errors ーwhich happen when a piece of code fails to abide by a language s rules ーcan be identified at runtime Your IDE detects and logs these errors on the terminal after you ve run the code The error message states the issue and identifies the exact lines in the code responsible for the error giving us all the information we need to resolve the issue Unlike syntactic errors however logical and runtime errors can t be identified by an IDE and can be quite difficult to debug The easiest way to resolve these kinds of errors is by using the logging technique in your program to print messages on the terminal while the program executes You can log statements from various places in your code to make debugging easier when an error or bug is encountered For example if you re working with APIs you can log the API s response data to inspect the data or ensure the right data structure was returned You can also log messages inside the body of your functions That way if an error is encountered you can inspect the logged messages to figure out the functions that ran and those that didn t run making it easy to trace from there and debug the code Logging in Node js It s important to follow best practices for logging in Node js to make your debugging work as efficient as possible Ensure you re familiar with the various console messages log levels and other logging basics as well One Node js logging method is to perform logging inside a middleware via routers and applications such as this example using Express middleware The router can be configured to log requests responses errors and other information that can be used to debug the application You can also install third party logging libraries and aggregators using npm or Yarn What is a logging library A logging library is a piece of software that can help you generate and manage log data from your application The best part of using a third party logger is that you don t write the code by yourself You simply use the appropriate npm or Yarn installation command to install the logger Most logging libraries provide support for the most common logging levels such as info debug warn and error You can create your own custom levels and configure their styles They also support different modes of transport file HTTP stream and console In the sections below we will explore some of the best loggers for Node js including Grafana Loki Pino and more PinoPino is an excellent Node js logger option if you want a simple logger that works straight out of the box Unlike some other logging solutions Pino doesn t require much configuration or an external dependency A few things that make Pino one of the best Node js loggers are that it s free to use constantly maintained and packed with a ton of features including pretty printing asynchronous logging transports and log processing bundling support and low overhead Pino formats log statements using JSON which makes them easy to read Supported log levels include debug warn error and info To install using npm run npm install pinoTo install using Yarn run yarn add pinoOnce you have successfully installed Pino you can then import a Pino logger instance into your project Note that you need to replace the console log statements with logger info statements ーyou can check out the Pino docs for some examples if needed You can use Pino with many web frameworks including Fastify Express Koa Nest js Nestify Happi and Node core HTTP To avoid compatibility issues we recommend having Node js v or a newer version running locally on your machine before installing the Pino logger This will guarantee that certain advanced and modern features all function as expected BunyanBunyan is a simple easy to use logging library for Node js applications It features an elegant log method API extensible steam systems serializers log child custom rendering of log objects and a bunyan CLI tool for pretty printing and filtering Bunyan logs To install using npm run npm install bunyanNext create a Logger instance and call methods named after the logging levels server jsvar bunyan require bunyan var log bunyan createLogger name serverapp log info server is active log warn type error something went wrong Like Pino and most other logging libraries Bunyan logs the statements in an easy to read JSON format and supports various log levels including debug warn error and info Bunyan supports Node js Browserify Webpack and NW js It s important to note that at the time of this writing Bunyan s official GitHub repository indicates that no maintenance has been carried out on the code in over ten months This could lead to compatibility issues especially with newer Node js releases If you re on Node js v or a newer version it s best to go with a regularly maintained logging solution like Pino js to avoid compatibility issues Cabin js Cabin js has more advanced features than the other logging libraries in this list including Automatic detection and masking of sensitive field names credit card numbers Social Security numbers BasicAuth headers API keys and more Reduced disk storage cost Cross platform and cross browser compatibility Ability to send logs to an HTTP endpoint Slack Sentry and PapertrailTo get started install everything you need with npm npm install express axe cabin signaleThen create the quickstart application const express require express const Axe require axe const Cabin require cabin const app express const Signale require signale initialize a new instance of Axe see below TODO s that appeal to you const logger new Axe logger new Signale const cabin new Cabin logger app use cabin middleware app get req res next gt res send OK start the serverapp listen In the code above we created an instance of the logger and passed it to Cabin to create a new cabin object Then we passed the cabin middleware property inside of app use to set up middleware in your application For a detailed guide on how to use Cabin js read their official documentation Since Cabin js is way more advanced than the other logging solutions mentioned in this article it requires extra installations and configurations to work The upside to using Cabin js is that you re provided with more advanced features that ll greatly benefit your application especially around security The codebase is also regularly maintained which reduces the risk of compatibility issues with Node js In conclusion go for Cabin js if you want a reliable logging solution that offers advanced security features ーand if you don t mind the complexity Winston Winston is a simple and universal logging library that features multiple logging levels custom logging multiple transport options custom transport exception handling querying logs and so much more To install Winston with npm run npm i winstonIt may be ideal to create your own logger using Winston createLogger to use Winston const winston require winston const logger winston createLogger level info format winston format json defaultMeta service user service transports new winston transports File filename error log level error new winston transports File filename combined log if process env NODE ENV production logger add new winston transports Console format winston format simple This creates a logger with an info logging level and JSON formatting The logger is then only activated in production Winston supports different logging levels const levels error warn info http verbose debug silly If you want more information about configuring and using the Winston logger check out their official docs Winston comes with a ton of extra features built in that you might find handy in large projects They include the following Info objects filtering ーFilter out a specific info object when logging then return a false value String interpolation ーJoin together strings in the log method using format splat Customize your logging levels ーSet background color font styles and more Exception handling ーCatch and log uncaughtException events in your applicationWinston is an excellent choice if you re looking for something more advanced The source code is constantly maintained so the library works well with all recent Node js versions Their documentation is also very detailed and put together very well Grafana Loki Loki is a log aggregation system that stores and queries logs from all your applications and infrastructure With Grafana logs you can send and ingest logs in any format JSON XML CSV from any source local log files AWS EC Kafta making it super easy to set up your log system quickly Grafana integrates well with Node js You can easily use the Grafana dashboard to manipulate data by setting up a Node js server and Deno project To install Grafana Loki in your Node js project create a free Grafana Cloud account When you do this you won t need to install maintain or scale your own instance of Grafana Loki Loki is a cost effective solution for enterprise Node js applications Some of the most useful Grafana log features include Ability to smoothly scale from MB to PB a day if required Can handle sudden spikes in query and ingestion load Make query logs using the same syntax used for querying metrics Write log queries that allow you to dynamically filter and transform your log lines Cloud Native Prometheus Golang Grafana amp KS Thanks to its minimal index approach Loki stores the same set of logs in smaller amounts of storage than other enterprise logging solutions It logs any and all formats is cheaper to run easier to run and performs faster writes and queries LogLevel LogLevel is a simple and lightweight logging library for JavaScript The library replaces the usual console logging methods and it s perfect for the application when in production It supports the typical logging levels trace debug info warn error and gracefully falls back to those of the console if more specific ones aren t available In terms of functionality LogLevel is very minimal It offers the essential logging features you ll use in your application but it doesn t allow you to reconfigure appenders or add complex log filtering rules You re better off with Cabin js or Winston for the more advanced features To install LogLevel with npm run npm install loglevel To install with Bower instead run bower install loglevelLogLevel is also available with WebJars and Atmosphere packages for Meteor To set it up in Node js simply import the library and call any of the regular console logging methods on the object passing in the message like so var log require loglevel log warn unreasonably simple For a comprehensive guide on how to use LogLevel read their official documentation Tracer Tracer is a powerful open source library for Node js The logger is very easy to customize supporting custom loggers and output formats Its features include Support for all logging levels log trace debug and so on User defined logging levels Custom formats and filters Set different types of transport log file stream MongoDB Provide the stack index for file infoTo get started with Tracer install the package from npm npm i tracerImport the logger before calling your preferred console method or methods var logger require tracer console logger log hello logger trace hello world logger debug hello s world logger info hello s d world foo bar logger warn hello s d j world foo bar logger error hello s d j world foo bar Object The method logs each of these messages on your console To learn more about Tracer read its official documentation Note that Tracer s codebase isn t regularly maintained At the time of this writing Tracer s GitHub repository hasn t been updated in over a year This makes compatibility issues possible between Tracer and more recent Node js versions ConclusionThis article covered seven libraries for logging messages in your Node js application Logging helps you to detect and diagnose errors inspect data from API calls and functions trace the flow of a program s execution and do so much more I hope this article will help you decide which of these popular options for logging in Node js is best for your needs If you have any questions please feel free to comment below Get setup with LogRocket s modern Node error tracking in minutes Visit to get an app

The best smartphones you can buy right now |
https://www.engadget.com/best-smartphones-140004900.html?src=rss

The best smartphones you can buy right nowChoosing the best smartphone for your needs can be challenging With so many brands offering similar features at similar prices it can be hard to understand what device actually has the things you want If you ve already determined you only want an iPhone your decision making process is slightly easier And even then Apple s lineup offers more options than ever Those also considering Android will have even more options to choose from and likely more questions Do you want a camera that can zoom into subjects that are extremely far away or do you want intuitive AI that can screen your incoming calls for you Here at Engadget we test smartphones all year round and can help you make sense of what s available and what to look out for And of course we ve included our top picks to help you whittle down your shortlist Android or iOS When you re searching for the best smartphone it becomes clear that each OS has its pros and cons Apple s tight knit ecosystem makes it super easy to share data between iPhones iPads and Macs or seamlessly hand off phone calls or music from one device to another At the same time you re effectively locked in as services like Apple Messages aren t available on other platforms As for Android there s a much wider range of handsets from companies like Google Samsung Sony and more However Android phones don t enjoy that same length of software support and often have lower trade in values In short there s no wrong answer However you will want to consider how your phone will fit in with the rest of your devices So unless you re really fed up with one OS and willing to learn another it probably doesn t make a lot of sense to switch from an iPhone to an Android phone or vice versa especially if everyone else in your household is using the same platform CamerasSince your cell phone often pulls double duty as your primary camera figuring out what kind of photo tools you want is key Nowadays practically every mobile phone can take a great picture in bright light But if you want a long optical zoom you ll probably have to upgrade to a more expensive device Cherlynn Low EngadgetMid range phones often only have two rear cameras a primary wide angle lens and a secondary ultra wide camera and can sometimes struggle in low light situations Each phone maker also has various features that might be a better fit for your style with Apple offering four different color presets on the latest iPhones while Google s Pixel comes with neat tools like dedicated long exposure and action pan modes Will you get G or Wi Fi The good news is that in most phones have at least ac Wi Fi and support for one or more types of G connectivity However if you want the fastest wireless speeds you can get it s going to cost you a bit more For example on certain networks mmWave G offers up to gigabit download speeds less latency and better bandwidth But mmWave G also requires more sophisticated and pricier modems which means support for it is often missing from budget and mid range handsets like the iPhone SE On the bright side mmWave G isn t as widely available as other versions of G so depending on where you live and what network you re on you may not be missing out on much if you buy a phone that doesn t support it It s a similar situation for Wi Fi and Wi Fi e which are available on a number of high end devices but harder to find on less expensive handsets Wi Fi also requires you have to have a compatible router so unless you know you need it or have a specific use case in mind the lack of support for mmWave G or Wi Fi E shouldn t be a dealbreaker when looking for a new phone Other features to considerBecause not everyone agrees on what makes the best phone you should think about any other specs that might be extra important for you Mobile gamers will almost certainly appreciate the Hz refresh rates you get on phones like the Samsung Galaxy S or the Apple iPhone Pro Alternatively if long battery life is important you ll probably want to go with a larger iPhone or an Android phone with a battery that s between and mAh in size Meanwhile if you find yourself juggling a lot of devices it can be really nice to have a phone that supports reverse wireless charging which on Samsung phones even lets you recharge the company s Galaxy Watches Best iOS smartphone iPhone ProThe iPhone Pro features the biggest changes to Apple s flagship line in years With the new Dynamic Island the company is finally sort of ditching the notch and in its place sits a pill shaped cutout to house the front cameras for Face ID In addition to being smaller than before the island also features software tweak that makes notifications media playback and ongoing activities look more cohesive But it s not just the Dynamic Island that makes the iPhone Pro feel like a notable upgrade The new Always On Display manages to help you stay on top of your notifications without overly draining battery while the upcoming Emergency SOS via Satellite lets you explore further with some peace of mind Those who aren t ready to give up physical SIM cards may be reluctant to go for this year s phones since they don t have onboard slots and are fully eSIM But thankfully Apple s setup and conversion process makes switching over painless With excellent performance capable cameras an OLED display and respectable battery life the iPhone Pro is the best Apple handset money can buy Cherlynn Low Deputy EditorBest Android smartphone Samsung Galaxy S UltraThe Galaxy S Ultra has pretty much everything you could want or need on a super premium flagship phone It features a gorgeous inch AMOLED display with a Hz refresh rate a speedy Snapdragon Gen chip longer battery life and a built in S Pen for all your drawing and notetaking needs New for is a huge MP sensor for the phone s main camera which comes with improved OIS K fps video recording and some additional photography tools in the Expert RAW app The main downsides are that starting at the S Ultra is as expensive as ever and while its advanced photo and video features have a lot of potential you need to put in some extra time and effort to get the most out of them And because the phone s design display and most of its cameras are so similar to previous models anyone who bought an S last year can safely skip upgrading this time around But for people who want a true do everything handset the S Ultra is in a class of its own and is our pick for the best Android phone Sam Rutherford Senior ReporterBest midrange Android smartphone Google Pixel aThe Pixel a delivers everything we look for in a great affordable phone New features include a faster Tensor G chip a smoother Hz display and for the first time on one of Google s A series phones support for wireless charging And with a refreshed design with IP water resistance it looks and feels like the standard Pixel but for less You also get great support thanks to five years of security updates and at least three OS upgrades The phone s only shortcomings are rather small and include a lack of a dedicated zoom lens and no support for mmWave G unless you purchase a slightly more expensive model from Verizon S R Best midrange iPhone iPhone SE With an A Bionic chip and iOS the latest Apple iPhone SE is possibly the most powerful phone you can find for under Sure it has a dated design but some folks might actually appreciate the retro look The best thing about the iPhone SE is its home button It s the only new iPhone to have Touch ID And though it only has a single rear camera the SE still takes solid pictures If you can get over the small low res screen the iPhone SE will serve you well It s also really the only sub option for iOS diehards If you re open to considering Android and want to spend less than consider something from Samsung s Galaxy A series or the OnePlus Nord N Those looking to spend even less can check out the Moto G Power just be prepared to compromise on features like display and cameras at these lower price points C L Best camera on a smartphone Pixel ProIt s hard for me to leave the house without the Pixel Pro my pick for best camera phone As long as there s a chance I might want to take photos I make sure I ve brought Google s latest flagship The Pixel Pro s triple rear camera system is versatile enough to capture anything from the largest group shots or wide landscapes to faraway animals like that time I thought I spotted a whale when staring at a distant blob from Acadia National Park Google s Night Sight still outperforms the competition when taking pictures in low lighting conditions too and its computational photography delivers clear vivid photos Of course Samsung and Apple s flagships are closing the gap and these days there is little difference between the photos they deliver Some people might even prefer the warmer tint on Galaxy devices But special features like Google s Magic Eraser and Motion effects make the Pixel Pro the most fun to shoot with Plus I love the additional tools you get on Pixel phones like Call Screening Material You theming and Live Captions among others C L Best foldable for multitasking Samsung Galaxy Z Fold For people who want a big powerful phone that adapts to their needs Samsung s Galaxy Z Fold is in a class of its own On this year s model Samsung has refined the Fold s dimensions adding a sleeker hinge and a slightly wider cover screen that makes it easier to type and use one handed Inside the phone s inch flexible main display is brighter too upwards of nits and thanks to a redesigned taskbar that lives along the bottom of the screen multitasking and launching app pairs is easier than ever Other improvements include a x zoom lens in back and a new MP main sensor And while the MP under display cam hidden beneath its main display isn t good for much more than video calls its new sub pixel matrix helps camouflage its existence even better Unfortunately the Z Fold is still sorta bulky and at it s definitely not cheap But if you ve dreamed about a phone that can transform into a tablet at a moment s notice while also delivering multitasking features unmatched by any other phone this thing is the ultimate choice for mobile productivity ーS R Best foldable for selfies Samsung Galaxy Z Flip While the Z Flip doesn t offer the same kind of screen space as its bigger and more expensive sibling it s way more compact and thanks to its size and hinge it s great at propping itself up on a table for shooting selfies On top of that Samsung has also increased its exterior screen size so that it s easier to frame up pics without opening the phone And with the addition of a new Snapdragon Gen chip this flip phone model offers significantly better battery life than before Meanwhile for gadget lovers that also appreciate a bit of style the Bespoke Edition of the Z Flip lets you customize the color of the phone s exterior panels so you can make sure your foldable phone doesn t look like anyone else s ーS R FAQsHow do I know which smartphone is the best for me While choosing the best smartphone can be challenging it mostly comes down to how you plan on using the device All of the best smartphones available now get the basics right ーyou ll be able to make calls text and access the internet without many hiccups If your smartphone is your most used gadget you may want to consider paying for a device on the higher end of the price spectrum That will get you better overall performance higher quality cameras and a phone that will last for many years If you don t use your phone for everything you may be able to compromise on performance and extra perks and spend less on a still capable handset How much is a smartphone Smartphones range in price from to over The best budget phones available now will usually compromise on overall performance design camera prowess and extra features to keep costs down On the flip side the most expensive phones will have powerful processors triple camera arrays and even flip or fold designs Most people will find a smartphone that fits their needs somewhere in the middle of that wide price range ーwe ve found that most of the best smartphones available right now cost between and What can you do on a smartphone Smartphones are essentially small portable computers that let you do things like check email browse social media follow map directions make contactless payments and more This is all on top of the basics like making phone calls and texting which we ve come to expect in all modern cell phones Smartphones have also mostly replaced compact cameras thanks to their high quality built in shooters and the fact that most smartphones today as just as portable if not more so as compact cameras How long do smartphones last Smartphones can last years and people are holding on to their phones longer now than ever before Software updates and battery life are two of the biggest factors that can affect smartphone longevity Apple promises five years worth of software updates for its latest iPhones and Google promises the same for its Pixel phones Samsung phones will get four years worth of Android updates from the time they launch As for charging speeds and battery life your phone can deteriorate over time as you use and recharge your phone on a regular basis This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Cocoon is worth getting excited aboutCocoon is a game that makes perfect sense while you re playing it That would be an unremarkable achievement if it wasn t also a game that forces you to use its levels to solve themselves At Summer Game Fest I had around half an hour to play through the game s opening and it has stuck with me more than anything else I saw at the show Cocoon is the debut game from Geometric Interactive a studio founded by former Playdead employees Jeppe Carlsen and Jakob Schmid Carlsen was the lead gameplay designer of the award winning puzzle platformers Limbo and Inside and Schmid the audio programmer of Inside The pair also collaborated on a minimalistic indie platformer and have been working on Cocoon with a small team in Denmark for over five years As in Limbo Inside and controls and interactivity in general are pared back to a minimum On an Xbox controller that means movement with an analog stick and interactions confined to a single button The complexity comes from the environment the narrative from exploration It s reminiscent of Tunic or Hyper Light Drifter in its lack of dialogue and tutorials Orbs are everything in Cocoon They re assets that open doors trigger switches reveal hidden paths and solve puzzles but they re also levels themselves Remember that scene in Men In Black where there s an entire galaxy in a little marble on a cat s collar Geometric Interactive has taken that idea and made it a core mechanic Each orb is a distinct world with its own vibe original puzzle mechanics and a boss fight You can hop in and out of these worlds by placing an orb into sockets dotted around the game and can even bring orbs into other orbs which given the abilities they unlock will likely be critical to finding paths forward I say there s a “boss fight in every orb but there is no conventional combat in Cocoon there is just a single interaction button after all You defeat bosses by using something in the environment like a water spout or an exploding mine These fights are also forgiving I took a “hit once and it revealed a delightful mechanic Instead of dealing damage or killing me the boss booted me out of its world I then had to traverse back to the fight to finish it off Defeating the two bosses I found granted new powers of sorts in classic Metroidvania style which allowed progression to new areas and the discovery of more orbs There were other simple environmental puzzles to solve One involved ascertaining the order in which to hit some switches another had me pulling towers around to open a door A slightly trickier one involved some doubling back to navigate a hidden path Given this was the very start of the game I m sure the complexity will ramp up significantly By the end of my playthrough I was already jumping in and out of worlds in order to get orbs to where they needed to be nbsp A colleague who was watching my demo said that they could tell I ve quot played a lot of these types of games ーthing is I haven t Cocoon is a game where everything makes sense but you can t explain why I m sure as in other puzzle adventures I ll get stumped in some places but exploring this world felt completely natural After a while I stopped being surprised that everything I tried just worked Solving puzzles became a flow state as I giddily wandered around carrying my precious orbs Cocoon is firmly at the top of my wishlist already and it s tough imagining anything overtaking it It s being published by Annapurna Interactive and will come to Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation and Xbox consoles later this year Catch up on all of the news from Summer Game Fest right here This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Twitch will give smaller streamers a bigger cut of subscriptions |

Twitch will give smaller streamers a bigger cut of subscriptionsTwitch is giving livestreamers a considerably stronger incentive to grow their audiences The service plans to roll out a Partner Plus program that will give more successful creators a percent share of their net subscription revenue instead of the usual percent up to a threshold in the calendar year A partner will qualify by holding on to at least recurring paid subscriptions gifts and Prime don t count for three months If they meet that standard they ll get that percent cut for the next months regardless of whether or not they stay above the subscription mark This can extend indefinitely Partner Plus launches October st and will automatically include anyone who meets the requirements for the three prior months The program will be available worldwide and doesn t offer anything beyond what Premium Partners major creators who ve negotiated special deals receive This effort comes months after Twitch announced plans for an identical cap for Premium Partners Twitch president at the time now CEO Dan Clancy claimed in September this wouldn t affect percent of relevant streamers and that increased ad payouts would help make up the difference However that might still irk major streamers who depend on Twitch for a living ーthey re effectively taking a pay cut There s a risk this may prompt other streamers to jump to YouTube and other platforms if they receive more lucrative terms Not that Twitch is necessarily concerned Partner Plus increases the practical income for many more streamers than Premium encouraging them to stick to the service ーparticularly if they re in the early stages of a livestreaming career That theoretically increases the overall number of available channels and keeps viewers from drifting to rivals Twitch has faced some difficulties in recent months including a backlash over the Premium revenue split and the impact of parent company Amazon s mass layoffs Partner Plus isn t guaranteed to solve matters but it does suggest Twitch is willing to significantly alter its strategy in response to these problems This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
