Logger Extension

[cutemiya]

Hola!

I want to find out if it is possible to redefine the logger in version 4.

At the moment, I can configure the logger as follows:

const sd = new StyleDictionary({
  ...
  log: {
    warnings: logWarningLevels.warn, // 'warn' | 'error' | 'disabled'
    verbosity: logVerbosityLevels.default, // 'default' | 'silent' | 'verbose'
    errors: {
      brokenReferences: logBrokenReferenceLevels.throw, // 'throw' | 'console'
    },
  },
});

As described in the documentation.

But I'm wondering if I can control the behavior/override the behavior of the logger?

For example, as follows:

const logger = {
  log: (message) => {
    fs.appendFileSync('default.log', `${message}\n`);
  },
  warn: (message) => {
    fs.appendFileSync('warnings.log', `WARNING: ${message}\n`);
  },
  error: (message) => {
    fs.appendFileSync('errors.log', `ERROR: ${message}\n`);
  },
};

const sd = new StyleDictionary({
  ...
  log: logger
});

I will be grateful for the answer!

No not currently, but I'd definitely be open to adding a new hook "logger" that you can register (registerLogger({...})) or use inline in the config.
I also like the idea of callback messages for logging/warning/erroring. For errors it would call the callback before throwing, so the callback completes before the program exits. I think they should support async callbacks as well.
It would be a pretty significant feature to contribute but if someone is willing to try that would be cool.
