Question: enable specific logs

[benmonro]

I'm curious if there's a way to enable specific logs rather than all logging.

for example:

var bows = require('bows');
var personLogs = bows('person');
var companyLogs = bows('company')

Is there a way to specify that I only want to see company logs and not person logs? In the browser I can filter of course, but I'm looking for a way to do this in node. the npm debug package allows me to pass in --debug='company' for example, is there anything like that in bows?

if you set localStorage.debug to a regular expression you can filter that way yeah, see the last point here: https://github.com/latentflip/bows#features

and how would that work in node?

@latentflip is there any answer for that? I'd like to use bows but it has to work (and be filterable) in both node and the browser...

@benmonro oh, sorry, I misread your original question. Hmm I guess there's not at the moment :( I never particularly designed it for node (though there's no reason you couldn't make it). Would happily accept a PR to make it work better in node though.

Sorry :(

ok cool, thanks. It does currently work, just need to add the ability to filter, in the way that the npm debug module works...
