Factories

As you know from the high-level concepts, Adze logs are typically generated from a factory function. Out-of-the-box you get the adze() function that is your normal entry point into creating logs. However, you can also use seal() and bundle() to take advantage of some other cool features that we will review below.

adze

The adze() factory take a single parameter which is a Configuration object that controls how this log instance will behave. The factory function will then return a new Adze log instance that you can chain modifiers with and ultimately terminate.

Here are a few examples of some patterns that you can use:

import { adze } from 'adze';

// Here we are creating a log with a configuration that will only apply to this instance
adze({ useEmoji: true }).log('Hello World with emoji!');

// But... what if we want to apply the same configuration to multiple logs?
const cfg = {
  useEmoji: true,
};

adze(cfg).log('A log with emoji enabled.');
adze(cfg).log('Another log with emoji enabled');

Optionally, you could import and export your configuration across your app:

import { adze } from 'adze';
import { cfg } from '~/configuration.ts';

// Generating a log with a shared configuration
adze(cfg).log('Hello World with emoji!');

seal

We've seen some patterns for reusing configuration for your logs, but what if we would like to create a log factory that has the configuration and even some modifiers baked in? This is the case where you would use seal().

Interface

class BaseLog {
  public seal(): () => Log;
}

Example

import { adze } from 'adze';

// Let's seal a configuration and namespace into a new log factory
const log = adze({ useEmoji: true }).ns('my-project').seal();

/* Now we can create new logs from our factory that enable emoji's and all
 * have the 'my-project' namespace! */
log().info('This log is generated from a new factory');
log().success('This is another log from the same factory');

Output

bundle

There are occassions where you may want to group logs together in a collection that you can later recall and filter. Adze provides a bundle() function that will wrap an Adze factory function and curry each subsequent log that is generated from the bundle.

The primary purpose of bundling is to keep Shed as optional as possible. Without bundling you would need to use Shed to get a collection of logs that you would like to recall. With bundling that is no longer necessary.

Interface

function bundle(_log: Log | (() => Log)): Bundler;

type Bundler = () => BundledLog;

class BundledBaseLog {
  public get bundle(): Bundle;
}

type Bundle = BundledLog[];

Example

import { adze, bundle, filterLabel, rerender } from 'adze';

const bundled = bundle(adze());

bundled().label('foo').info('This log is bundled.');
const { log } = bundled().label('bar').log('This log is also bundled.');

filterLabel(log.bundle, 'foo').forEach(rerender);

Output
