redux-loggerLogger for Redux
Logger for Redux
Now maintained by LogRocket!
LogRocket is a production Redux logging tool that lets you replay problems as if they happened in your own browser. Instead of guessing why errors happen, or asking users for screenshots and log dumps, LogRocket lets you replay Redux actions + state, network requests, console logs, and see a video of what the user saw.
For more informatiom about the future of redux-logger, check out the discussion here.

Install
npm i --save redux-logger
Typescript types are also available, via DefinitelyTyped:
npm i @types/redux-logger
Usage
import { applyMiddleware, createStore } from 'redux';
// Logger with default options
import logger from 'redux-logger'
const store = createStore(
reducer,
applyMiddleware(logger)
)
// Note passing middleware as the third argument requires redux@>=3.1.0
Or you can create your own logger with custom options:
import { applyMiddleware, createStore } from 'redux';
import { createLogger } from 'redux-logger'
const logger = createLogger({
// ...options
});
const store = createStore(
reducer,
applyMiddleware(logger)
);
Note: logger must be the last middleware in chain, otherwise it will log thunk and promise, not actual actions (#20).
Options
{
predicate, // if specified this function will be called before each action is processed with this middleware.
collapsed, // takes a Boolean or optionally a Function that receives `getState` function for accessing current store state and `action` object as parameters. Returns `true` if the log group should be collapsed, `false` otherwise.
duration = false: Boolean, // print the duration of each action?
timestamp = true: Boolean, // print the timestamp with each action?
level = 'log': 'log' | 'console' | 'warn' | 'error' | 'info', // console's level
colors: ColorsObject, // colors for title, prev state, action and next state: https://github.com/LogRocket/redux-logger/blob/master/src/defaults.js#L12-L18
titleFormatter, // Format the title used when logging actions.
stateTransformer, // Transform state before print. Eg. convert Immutable object to plain JSON.
actionTransformer, // Transform action before print. Eg. convert Immutable object to plain JSON.
errorTransformer, // Transform error before print. Eg. convert Immutable object to plain JSON.
logger = console: LoggerObject, // implementation of the `console` API.
logErrors = true: Boolean, // should the logger catch, log, and re-throw errors?
diff = false: Boolean, // (alpha) show diff between states?
diffPredicate // (alpha) filter function for showing states diff, similar to `predicate`
}
Options description
level (String | Function | Object)
Level of console. warn, error, info or else.
It can be a function (action: Object) => level: String.
It can be an object with level string for: prevState, action, nextState, error
It can be an object with getter functions: prevState, action, nextState, error. Useful if you want to print message based on specific state or action. Set any of them to false if you want to hide it.
prevState(prevState: Object) => level: Stringaction(action: Object) => level: StringnextState(nextState: Object) => level: Stringerror(error: Any, prevState: Object) => level: String
Default: log
duration (Boolean)
Print duration of each action?
Default: false
timestamp (Boolean)
Print timestamp with each action?
Default: true
colors (Object)
Object with color getter functions: title, prevState, action, nextState, error. Useful if you want to paint message based on specific state or action. Set any of them to false if you want to show plain message without colors.
title(action: Object) => color: StringprevState(prevState: Object) => color: Stringaction(action: Object) => color: StringnextState(nextState: Object) => color: Stringerror(error: Any, prevState: Object) => color: String
logger (Object)
Implementation of the console API. Useful if you are using a custom, wrapped version of console.
Default: console
logErrors (Boolean)
Should the logger catch, log, and re-throw errors? This makes it clear which action triggered the error but makes "break on error" in dev tools harder to use, as it breaks on re-throw rather than the original throw location.
Default: true
collapsed = (getState: Function, action: Object, logEntry: Object) => Boolean
Takes a boolean or optionally a function that receives getState function for accessing current store state and action object as parameters. Returns true if the log group should be collapsed, false otherwise.
Default: false
predicate = (getState: Function, action: Object) => Boolean
If specified this function will be called before each action is processed with this middleware. Receives getState function for accessing current store state and action object as parameters. Returns true if action should be logged, false otherwise.
Default: null (always log)
stateTransformer = (state: Object) => state
Transform state before print. Eg. convert Immutable object to plain JSON.
Default: identity function
actionTransformer = (action: Object) => action
Transform action before print. Eg. convert Immutable object to plain JSON.
Default: identity function
errorTransformer = (error: Any) => error
Transform error before print.
Default: identity function
titleFormatter = (action: Object, time: String?, took: Number?) => title
Format the title used for each action.
Default: prints something like action @ ${time} ${action.type} (in ${took.toFixed(2)} ms)
diff (Boolean)
Show states diff.
Default: false
diffPredicate = (getState: Function, action: Object) => Boolean
Filter states diff for certain cases.
Default: undefined
Recipes
Log only in development
const middlewares = [];
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === `development`) {
const { logger } = require(`redux-logger`);
middlewares.push(logger);
}
const store = compose(applyMiddleware(...middlewares))(createStore)(reducer);
Log everything except actions with certain type
createLogger({
predicate: (getState, action) => action.type !== AUTH_REMOVE_TOKEN
});
Collapse actions with certain type
createLogger({
collapsed: (getState, action) => action.type === FORM_CHANGE
});
Collapse actions that don't have errors
createLogger({
collapsed: (getState, action, logEntry) => !logEntry.error
});
Transform Immutable (without combineReducers)
import { Iterable } from 'immutable';
const stateTransformer = (state) => {
if (Iterable.isIterable(state)) return state.toJS();
else return state;
};
const logger = createLogger({
stateTransformer,
});
Transform Immutable (with combineReducers)
const logger = createLogger({
stateTransformer: (state) => {
let newState = {};
for (var i of Object.keys(state)) {
if (Immutable.Iterable.isIterable(state[i])) {
newState[i] = state[i].toJS();
} else {
newState[i] = state[i];
}
};
return newState;
}
});
Log batched actions
Thanks to @smashercosmo
import { createLogger } from 'redux-logger';
const actionTransformer = action => {
if (action.type === 'BATCHING_REDUCER.BATCH') {
action.payload.type = action.payload.map(next => next.type).join(' => ');
return action.payload;
}
return action;
};
const level = 'info';
const logger = {};
for (const method in console) {
if (typeof console[method] === 'function') {
logger[method] = console[method].bind(console);
}
}
logger[level] = function levelFn(...args) {
const lastArg = args.pop();
if (Array.isArray(lastArg)) {
return lastArg.forEach(item => {
console[level].apply(console, [...args, item]);
});
}
console[level].apply(console, arguments);
};
export default createLogger({
level,
actionTransformer,
logger
});
To Do
- Update eslint config to airbnb's
- Clean up code, because it's very messy, to be honest
- Write tests
- Node.js support
- React-native support
Feel free to create PR for any of those tasks!
Known issues
- Performance issues in react-native (#32)
