        this.$log.debug('test', this.a, 123)
        this.$log.info('test', this.b)
        this.$log.warn('test')
        this.$log.error('test')
        this.$log.fatal('test')

Production tips

The plugin can be disabled for production or a lower logLevel can be set to minimize output (as shown in usage ). If the logLevel is set to 'fatal' the plugin will ignore all calls with less important loglevels in the code.

    function foo() {
        // these statements will print nothing if the logLevel is set to 'fatal'. But they will compile just fine. 
        this.$log.debug('test', 'bar')
        this.$log.info('test')
        this.$log.warn('test')
        this.$log.error('test', 'foo')
        // this statement will print if the logLevel is set to 'fatal'
        this.$log.fatal('test', 'bar', 123)
    }
