A logger for libp2p based on [weald](https://www.npmjs.com/package/weald), a TypeScript port of the venerable [debug](https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug) module.

## Example

```TypeScript
import { logger } from '@libp2p/logger'

const log = logger('libp2p:my:component:name')

try {
  // an operation
  log('something happened: %s', 'it was ok')
} catch (err) {
  log.error('something bad happened: %o', err)
}

log('with this peer: %p', {})
log('and this base58btc: %b', Uint8Array.from([0, 1, 2, 3]))
log('and this base32: %t', Uint8Array.from([4, 5, 6, 7]))
```

```console
$ DEBUG=libp2p:* node index.js
something happened: it was ok
something bad happened: <stack trace>
with this peer: 12D3Foo
with this base58btc: Qmfoo
with this base32: bafyfoo
```

# Install

```console
$ npm i @libp2p/logger
```

## Browser `<script>` tag

Loading this module through a script tag will make its exports available as `Libp2pLogger` in the global namespace.

```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@libp2p/logger/dist/index.min.js"></script>
```
