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().

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

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