## What it is
Signale is a highly configurable, hackable logging library for Node.js with 19 out-of-the-box loggers, integrated timers, scoped loggers, and secrets filtering. It can be used for logging, status reporting, and rendering output of other Node modules and CLI applications.

## Use cases
- add pretty console logging to a nodejs app
- log with timestamps and scoped loggers in a cli tool
- filter secrets from log output
- create custom pluggable loggers for a node module
- replace console.log with leveled loggers like success, error, and debug

## When to choose
- you want beautiful, configurable console output in Node.js with minimal setup
- you need scoped loggers, timers, and secrets filtering out of the box
- you want per-file or package.json-level logging configuration

## When to avoid
- you need structured log aggregation or shipping to external logging services
- you are logging in the browser rather than Node.js
- you need high-performance async logging for high-throughput services

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: logging, cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, backend
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: console-logging, loggers, typescript-support, hackable, npm, command-line, nodejs
