How to use logger

import {Logger,XAPI} from 'xapi-node'

const l = new Logger()
l.on({
  type: 'debug',
  callback: data => console.log(data)
})
l.on({
  type: 'transaction',
  callback: data => console.log(data)
})
l.on({
  type: 'error',
  callback: data => console.log(data)
})
l.on({
  type: 'info',
  callback: data => console.log(data)
})

const x = new XAPI({
  accountId: '(xStation5) accountID',
  password: '(xStation5) password',
  type: 'real' // or demo
}, l)
