Transport Configuration ​

All LogLayer transports share a common set of configuration options that control their behavior. These options are passed to the transport constructor when creating a new transport instance.

Common Configuration Options ​

Required Parameters ​

None - all parameters are optional.

Optional Parameters ​

NameTypeDefaultDescription
idstring-A unique identifier for the transport. If not provided, a random ID will be generated. This is used if you need to call getLoggerInstance() on the LogLayer instance
enabledbooleantrueIf false, the transport will not send any logs to the logger. Useful for temporarily disabling a transport
consoleDebugbooleanfalseIf true, the transport will also log messages to the console. Useful for debugging transport behavior
level"trace" | "debug" | "info" | "warn" | "error" | "fatal""trace"Minimum log level to process. Messages below this level will be ignored. See Log Level Hierarchy

Example Usage ​

Here's an example of configuring a transport with common options:

typescript
import { LogLayer } from 'loglayer'
import { PinoTransport } from "@loglayer/transport-pino"
import pino from 'pino'

const pinoLogger = pino()

const transport = new PinoTransport({
  // Custom identifier for the transport
  id: 'main-pino-transport',
  
  // Your configured logger instance
  logger: pinoLogger,
  
  // Disable the transport temporarily
  enabled: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'test',
  
  // Enable console debugging
  consoleDebug: process.env.DEBUG === 'true',
  
  // Set minimum log level (only process info and above)
  level: 'info'
})

const log = new LogLayer({
  transport
})
