Peer Dependence

Puppet(npm module wechaty-puppet) itself must be a peer Dependencies for all the Puppet Providers, and should only be installed via Wechaty because all Puppet Providers should share the same Puppet Base Class with Wechaty, we must be sure all Puppet is the same version.

Wechaty Puppet Toolsets

1. Using SwitchState

You can get to know the puppet start/stop state from the state property:

puppet.state.on() === 'pending' will be true when the puppet is starting
puppet.state.on() === true will be true when the puppet is started
puppet.state.off() === 'pending' will be true when the puppet is stoping
`puppet.state.off() === true’ will be true when the puppet is stopped

2. Using Brolog

Using Brolog to output necessary log messages.

2.1 Get log from Brolog

import { log } from 'brolog'

2.2 Log Format

log.verbose('ModuleName', 'methodName() Your Verbose Message Here')
log.silly('ModuleName', 'methodName() Your Silly Message Here')

2.3 Log Level

Brolog has five log levels, it should be used and follow the following rules:

Log Level	What does it means	Usage in Puppet
`log.silly()`	There’s some detail debug information	Can be used in everywhere as you like
`log.verbose()`	There’s some debug information	Should be used at the beginning of every method()
~~`log.info()`~~	~~There’s something we need to let user know~~	~~Should NEVER to be used because Puppet is Library~~
`log.warn()`	There’s a Coverable Error	Should not be used unless we have to
`log.error()`	There’s a Un-covered Error	Should not be used unless we have to
