Logging Utilities

A pair of minimal, dependency-light logging utilities implemented in both Python and JavaScript. Each supports adding, reading, editing, and deleting log entries through an interactive command-line menu. All entries are persisted to a plain-text log.txt file in the working directory.

No external APIs or network access are used — logging is entirely local, making this module suitable for offline study of file I/O and CRUD patterns.

Files

File Description
logger.py Python implementation (standard library only)
logger.js Node.js implementation (uses readline-sync for the CLI)
log.txt Shared log store, created on first write

Requirements

  • Python: 3.x — no third-party packages required.
  • Node.js: any LTS release, plus the readline-sync package: 
    npm install readline-sync

Usage

Python

python logger.py

Node.js

node logger.js

Either entry point presents the same interactive menu:

  • Add a log entry
  • Read all log entries
  • Edit a log entry
  • Delete a log entry
  • Exit

Notes

  • Both implementations default to the same log.txt file, so they can be used interchangeably within one directory and will operate on a shared log.
  • Each function is documented inline to illustrate file handling and basic CRUD operations.
