Winston-transport is an npm package that provides a base TransportStream implementation for winston >= 3. It's designed to be used to write ecosystem Transports for winston. By utilizing winston-transport, you can take advantage of its base functionality and exceptional handling, allowing you for a more efficient implementation of your custom transports.
To use winston-transport, first, you need to install the package via your npm or yarn package manager. Following that, you can utilize this const Transport from the winston-transport package to create your custom transports in JavaScript. Below is the basic pattern for creating a custom transport:
const Transport = require('winston-transport');
const util = require('util');
module.exports = class CustomTransport extends Transport {
constructor(opts) {
super(opts);
// Consume any custom options here
}
log(info, callback) {
setImmediate(() => {
this.emit('logged', info);
});
// Perform the writing to the remote service
callback();
}
};
The constructor is responsible for setting up any necessary options, while the log method handles writing to the intended location using the given information.
Documentation for winston-transport is currently not available in a separate, dedicated location. The information provided in the README on the GitHub repository (git+ssh://git@github.com/winstonjs/winston-transport.git) serves as its primary current source of documentations and usage examples. For additional insights and usage cases, exploring open-source projects that use winston-transport, or querying issues on the GitHub repository may prove beneficial.
