Use nebula inside Aura init method?

[ministe2003]

Hi. Is it in any way possible to use nebula logger inside an Aura's init function? I'm trying to replace any and all logging in my current org with nebula and we have console statements inside init which I'd like to replace, but logger doesn't seem to be ready at this point and so it fails.

To prove the issue, take the aura example component and add <aura:handler name="init" action="{!c.doInit}" value="{!this}"/> to the markup, then add a doInit function like

doInit : function(component, event, helper) {
    console.log("start of aura cmp's doInit function");
    const logger = component.find('logger');
    console.log(logger);
    logger.error('INIT');
    logger.saveLog();
}

The log will fail to be created.

Is this a hard NO or is there a workaround? I know I could move the functionality into a different event however as mentioned I'm trying to replace existing logging inside existing functionality which is required to be inside the init function.

Thanks!

Commenting on my own question to post the solution I ended up with.

1. Create a custom LWC containing just a js file, no markup. Something like this:

/**
 * You can't use nebula logger in the init method of an Aura component because
 * nebula is not yet fully loaded.
 * This wrapper component loads nebula itself and then fires an event when nebula is ready.
 * The Aura component can handle that event, get the logger instance and store it in an attribute.
 * Then the Aura component can run whatever code was in the init method.
 */

import { LightningElement } from 'lwc';
import { getLogger } from 'c/logger';

export default class NebulaLoggerAuraWrapper extends LightningElement {
    logger = getLogger();

    renderedCallback() {
        this.dispatchEvent(
            new CustomEvent('nebulaready', 
                {
                    detail: { logger: this.logger },
                    bubbles: true,
                    composed: true
                }
            )
        );
    }
}

2. Replace your Aura's init handler with this new component, and create an attribute to store logger in. You don't need to include nebula's c:logger component as you usually would in aura.

<c:nebulaLoggerAuraWrapper aura:id="loggerWrapper" onnebulaready="{! c.handleLoggerReady }"/>
<aura:attribute name="logger" type="Object" />

3. in your logger ready handler code, populate the attribute and then run whatever code your doInit function used to run.

handleLoggerReady : function(component, event, helper) {
    const logger = event.getParam("logger");
    component.set("v.logger", logger);

    helper.someMethod(...);
