What?

This is the simple Node module, which implements a few polyfills for the 'console' object methods to be used within the server or mobile code for pretty terminal output. Log, info, warn, error, debug, group and others - all with colors, formatting and grouping support. Fully React Native compatible!

If you have a better screenshot, do not hesitate to make a PR or just email it to me.

Why?

I have just been tired of the output given by React Native by default. Hope, you feel the same and will find this module useful.

Features

• Log method type color labels;
• JSON objects formatting (condensed and normal) with customizable colors;
• Collapsable logs grouping (console.group* methods);
• Method labels and JSON output color theming;
• Support of the all with the same syntax you use in the browser consoin-browser logging syntax (e.g., console.log( "%cSome text", "color: green;" ))

Install

Run from your projects directory:

npm i --save color-term-console

How to use

You can just imprt the module once from your index file to enable it with the default settings:

import "color-term-console"

Remember to import it in front of other modules, which output to console.

To change the default behaviour:

import { condensedJsonOutput, setColorTheme } from "color-term-console"

...
condensedJsonOutput( true )

setColorTheme( {
	number: "tomato",
} )
...
