Yolog email plugin

Plugin for the @jitesoft/yolog logger to post logs and errors to a set of email addresses.
The plugin is backed by nodemailer and is able to use any transporter that nodemailer supports!

Due to the nature of the plugin and the dependency on nodemailer, this plugin is only supported on node-like platforms, not browser.

Default transporter

If no transporter is passed to the Plugin through the constructor, a default sendmail transporter will be added. If sendmail does not exist on the machine, the plugin will likely crash on logging messages.

Templates

There are default templates set for HTML, Text and Subject. Subject template is set through the constructor, while the text and html templates can be changed with the setHmlTemplate and setTextTemplate methods in the instance.

Parameters that will be replaced are currently the following:

TAG        - The message tag/type.
DATETIME   - Date as ISO string.
MESSAGE    - Log message.
STACKTRACE - Stack trace (from yolog.log and upwards).

Each parameter uses {PARAMETER} in the templates.

Default HTML template:

<div>
    <span style="font-size: 1.4em; text-decoration: underline;">{TAG} message logged.</span>
    <pre>At: {DATETIME}</pre>
    <div style="padding-top: 1em;">
        <span style="text-decoration: underline; line-height: 0.4em;">Message:</span>
        <p>{MESSAGE}</p>
    </div>
    <pre style="border: 1px black dotted; font-size: 1em; width: max-content; padding: 1em 3em;">{STACKTRACE}</pre>
    <span style="font-size: 0.6em;">This message was logged via the <a style="text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@jitesoft/yolog"><code>@jitesoft/yolog</code></a> email plugin.</span>
</div>

Default text template:

Logged a log message with {TAG} tag at {DATETIME}.\n\nMessage: {MESSAGE}\n\nCallstack:\n{STACKTRACE}

Usage:

Install with your favorite package manager!

npm i @jitesoft/yolog-email-plugin --save
yarn add @jitesoft/yolog-email-plugin

Use it!

import EmailPlugin from '@jitesoft/yolog-email-plugin';
import { logger } from '@jitesoft/yolog';
import nodemailer from 'nodemailer';
const plugin = new EmailPlugin(['target@target.target'], 'sender@sender.send', 'Subject!', [
  nodemailer.createTransport({
    /* ... */
  })
]);
logger.addPlugin(plugin);
logger.error('YOU GOT MAIL!');

Recommendation

Turn off lesser levels of logging for the plugin so that your inbox is not filled with debug messages and your smtp server gets spam listed instantly!
