+# react-server-module-tagger
+
+A function for tagging [react-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-server)
+logger instances with information about the module they're being used in.
+
+To transpile your source for use with
+[React Server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-server), install gulp and the plugin
+
+```shell
+npm i -D gulp react-server-module-tagger
+```
+
+Then require and call the function.  The tagger expects to have config and file
+data on its prototype, so use `.bind`.
+
+```javascript
+const tagger = require('react-server-module-tagger');
+const filepath = 'path/to/my/output.js';
+const optString = '({label:"foo"})'
+const moduleTag = tagger.bind({ file: { path: filepath }, config: { trim: 'path/to'} })(filepath, optString));
+```
+
+returns a logger instance that will have consistent coloring on the server and
+the client, and that has a human-friendly, readable name that easily maps to
+the file tree (in this example `components.my-feature.foo`).
