Kino

Kino is a lightweight logging library built for Discord bots. It writes timestamped, colored lines to the console, and sends errors to Sentry when you configure it.

Work in progress

Kino is still under construction: its API may change.

• Six levels: log, info, success, warn, error, debug, each with its own color.
• A global logger and per-module loggers, whose name appears on every line.
• Sentry integration: error() sends the exception with the module as a tag, and init() sets up the SDK with integrations suited to a bot.
• Tracing an operation: trace(uid) returns an error handler that tags the exception with an identifier.

Example

import Kino from '@fca.gg/kino';

Kino.init({
  sentry: {dsn: process.env.SENTRY_DSN},
});

Kino.info('Bot started');

const logger = new Kino('Commands');
logger.success('42 commands loaded');

[09/24/2026, 06:02:11 PM - GLOBAL - INFO] Bot started
[09/24/2026, 06:02:11 PM - Commands - SUCCESS] 42 commands loaded

See usage and Sentry.
