tsflag (similar to timestampWithFlag)

The tsflag function combines a timestamp and a debug level flag into a single formatted string. It calls ts with flag internally, producing output like [2026-03-01 - 14:30:00] [INFO] message.

Signature

function tsflag(
level: DebugLevel,
date?: boolean,
...args: any[],
): string

Parameters

• level: A DebugLevel string — "debug", "info", "warn", or "error".
• date: Whether to include the date portion. Defaults to true.
• ...args: Additional values to append after the timestamp and flag.

Return Value

Returns a string with both timestamp and colored level flag.

Usage

import { tsflag } from "ts-better-console";

// Full timestamp with date + info flag
console.log(tsflag("info", true, "Server started"));
// => [2026-03-01 - 14:30:00] [INFO] Server started

// Time only + error flag
console.log(tsflag("error", false, "Connection lost"));
// => [14:30:00] [ERROR] Connection lost

// Default date + warn flag
console.log(tsflag("warn", true, "High memory"));
// => [2026-03-01 - 14:30:00] [WARN] High memory
