Question 2

How to send logs to a server with Lumberjack?

Accepted Answer

Use the built-in HTTP driver by configuring it in your Angular module. The README mentions the HTTP driver for sending log messages via HTTP, and the full documentation provides step-by-step setup instructions for server-side logging.

Question 3

Lumberjack vs using console.log in Angular?

Accepted Answer

Lumberjack offers structured logging, multiple levels, and extensible drivers, whereas console.log is basic and unstructured. For maintainable applications, Lumberjack provides better control, scalability, and error handling without breaking functionality.

Question 4

Can I use Lumberjack with React or Vue?

Extend the logger base class provided by Lumberjack and implement the required methods for your custom transport. The plugin-based architecture simplifies this, and the documentation includes examples for building and integrating custom drivers.

Lumberjack supports configurable multilevel logging, typically including standard levels like error, warn, info, and debug. You can customize these levels based on your application's needs through the Lumberjack service configuration.

Question 7

Does Lumberjack impact Angular app performance?

Accepted Answer

Like any logging library, there is some overhead, but Lumberjack is designed to be efficient. The robust error handling ensures logging failures don't degrade performance, and drivers can be optimized or disabled in production to minimize impact.
