Console logger is a development tool, that makes web developers more productive. It prints console.log to your terminal when development console is out of reach.
Many people like to debug code using console.log, but sometimes it is not possible. Below are the situations, when you can't leverage console.log for debugging:
- Remote browser emulators
- Chrome extensions
- Hybrid mobile apps (Ionic, etc.)
- etc.
I made a development tool to solve those problems.
After a simple integration console.log output will go to the terminal window so you can enjoy using it again.
npm install -g @mac-r/console-logger nanoid
nanoidwill be added to dependencies in the next patch 😅
Add this at the beginning of your html template, which serves all other bundles:
<meta property="console:server" content="ws://127.0.0.1:8081" />
<script src="https://www.unpkg.com/@mac-r/console-logger@1.0.1/dist/console-logger.min.js"></script>Then run the following command in your terminal:
console-logger
Now you can start using console.log in your code. The output will go to the terminal.
You can run console-logger on a custom PORT:
PORT=1234 console-logger
Just don't forget to change console:server value in the html template.
