util.format options need

[thegobot]

options to config...
Can't change depth now

[lamweili]

@thegobot Your changes don't make it able to be changed, or am I missing something?

It would still not work for people requiring more depths.

[thegobot]

The problem is that your logger doesn't print objects with depth > 2 (default in util.inspect depth = 2)
I believe that you need to move the settings of formatWithOptions in the config

logger.debug(util.formatWithOptions({ depth: 5 }, myObject));

I understand, but it's not convenient

@thegobot Would using JSON.stringify(myObject, null, 2) manually suffice?

Using your changes (hard-coded to depth=4)

const myObject = {"a":"a","b":{"c":"c","d":{"e":"e","f":{"g":"g","h":{"i":"i","j":{"k":"k"}}}}}};

const log4js = require("log4js");
const logger = log4js.getLogger();
logger.level = "debug";
logger.debug(myObject);

[2022-01-16T02:30:16.495] [DEBUG] default - {
  a: 'a',
  b: {
    c: 'c',
    d: { e: 'e', f: { g: 'g', h: { i: 'i', j: [Object] } } }
  }
}

Using original code

const myObject = {"a":"a","b":{"c":"c","d":{"e":"e","f":{"g":"g","h":{"i":"i","j":{"k":"k"}}}}}};

const log4js = require("log4js");
const logger = log4js.getLogger();
logger.level = "debug";
logger.debug(myObject);
logger.debug(JSON.stringify(myObject, null, 2));              // manual

const util = require("util");
logger.debug(util.formatWithOptions({ depth: 5 }, myObject)); // manual
