Log Extension module for MagicMirror

Concept

Many beginners have a problem tracing an unexpected issue when they run the MagicMirror.
Usually, the start of debugging would be to examine backend-log and frontend-log but people may have confusing to use both how to.

I know there already exists MMM-Logging to help with this issue, but it seems not maintained anymore, and I need more features, so I have to re-invent a wheel by myself.

Features

To deliver frontend log (used by MM’s Log Object) to backend log
Customizable/Decorative Log messages
To monitor Notifications
window.error and unhandledRejection would be caught then be transmitted to the backend
To be able to log external messages from other programs or devices via HTTP request

IMPORTANT : This module deliver only Log.xxx() to the backend, not console.xxx().

@MMRIZE Curious - does this have any purpose other than prettying logs for PM2 users?

@BKeyport it merges the Dev window messages and the node_helper messages…

pm2 doesn’t see the developers window messages (from the modulename.js Log(…) function

@BKeyport
You can see the browser-side log in the backend (terminal or log file) without ‘npm run start:dev’ or dev-console of chromium.
Frankly said, I’m a bit tired with always saying “open your dev-console and let’s see whether there be suspicious errors,… no, that is element tab, console tab is another, you can see those tabs in upper right side,… first you should have stopped the pm before,…” :D
