log file redirection in node js

Question

I am writing a socket server in nodejs using websocket library, I have a requirement where if I give a logfilename in the server.js as a argument then all the logs should be redirected to logfile otherwise it should be displayed on the console.

It seems to be very trivial issue but I am very new to node js, can you guys help me how to acheive it.

I tried with puuting the if condition in the whole code to check for commandline argument, if it is not present then log to the console. — rahulshr

You can try using this library. It has a file transport logger. https://github.com/winstonjs/winston
