Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
📝 Console Logger
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.
Introduction
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.
Installation
npm install -g @mac-r/console-logger nanoid
nanoidwill be added to dependencies in the next patch😅
Usage
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/[email protected]/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.
Advanced Usage
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.
