## 1.0.0 (August 17, 2016)
First stable and documented release - however, the functionality or API has not changed from `0.0.3`.
* __Documentation:__ Updated donation text.
* __Documentation:__ Added documentation and a changelog.
## 0.0.7 (April 26, 2016)
* __Patch:__ Display string-typed error properties literally, without quotes or colorization.
* __Patch:__ Removed unnecessary interpolation.
## 0.0.6 (April 26, 2016)
* __Patch:__ Always hide the `stack` property, as it is already handled separately.
## 0.0.5 (April 25, 2016)
* __Patch:__ Always hide `name` and `message` from the property listing, as these are already displayed separately anyway.
* __Patch:__ Display a more accurate error message when a stacktrace is absent - previously, it would always try to use the first line of the stacktrace.
## 0.0.4 (April 25, 2016)
* __Major:__ Improved error logging by displaying all properties clearly and verbosely using a custom output format, rather than just dumping the error object.
## 0.0.3 (April 14, 2016)
* __Patch:__ Removed stray angle bracket from Vinyl file logging output.
## 0.0.2 (April 11, 2016)
* __Minor:__ Clearer Vinyl file logging, by displaying relative paths when a `basePath` option is specified.
## 0.0.1 (April 10, 2016)
Initial release.

# gulp-named-log
A logging utility, primarily intended for use with Gulp or other Vinyl streams, that outputs fancy name/severity-prefixed log lines.
A logging utility, primarily intended for use with Gulp or other Vinyl streams. Loosely inspired by `gulp-util`. Why you might want to use it:
* Log lines are prefixed by time, name, and optionally severity.
* Errors are displayed verbosely, in such a way that all the important details are immediately obvious.
* Supports Vinyl (Gulp) streams - simply pipe through a logstream, and every affected file will be logged.

## Usage
Example coming soon.
```javascript
var gulp = require("gulp");
var gulpBabel = require("gulp-babel");
var gulpCache = require("gulp-cached");
var gulpPlumber = require("gulp-plumber");
var gulpNamedLog = require("gulp-named-log");
// We define the different named loggers here.
var babelLogger = gulpNamedLog("babel");
var gulpLogger = gulpNamedLog("gulp");
var source = ["src/**/*.js"]
gulp.task('babel', function() {
return gulp.src(source)
.pipe(gulpPlumber())
.pipe(gulpCache("babel"))
.pipe(gulpBabel({presets: ["es2015"]}))
.pipe(babelLogger.stream()) // This logs every file going through.
.pipe(gulp.dest("lib/"));
});
gulp.task('watch', function () {
gulpLogger.info("Watching for changes:", source); // This logs once.
gulp.watch(source, ['babel']);
});
gulp.task('default', ['babel', 'watch']);
```
## API
API documentation coming soon.
### gulpNamedLog(name, options)
Creates a new `gulp-named-log` instace.
* __name:__ The name prefix that is used for each line that this logger logs.
* __options:__
* __basePath:__ *Optional.* The root path of the project. This is used to display shorter paths when using the logger as a Vinyl stream - rather than showing the full path of the file, it will show the path relative to the project root.
* __byteLimit:__ *Defaults to `20`.* When the logger is used as a Vinyl stream, this is the maximum amount of bytes that will be rendered (in hexadecimal representation) for each file line.
### logger.log(values...)
Logs each of the provided values, much like `console.log` would - but with a timestamp and logger name prefixed.
### logger.debug(values...)
### logger.info(values...)
### logger.warn(values...)
### logger.error(values...)
Like `logger.log`, but along with a timestamp and logger name, the line will also include the specified *severity*.
### logger.stream()
Returns a new Vinyl stream, that will log (and pass through) every file it receives. In a typical `gulp.watch` + `gulp-cache` setup, this will only include the files that were modified (even if the result stays the same).
