colorsole

Put colors in your debugging sessions. By Fabio Rotondo.

Installation

yarn add colorsole

or

npm install --save colorsole

Usage

var Colorsole = require ( 'colorsole' );

// once instantiated, colorsole can be used as a console replacement
console = new Colorsole ();

// There are some options and attributes you can call while creating a Colorsole.

// now just use it with debug, info, warn, error methods
// NOTE: for better results, pass at least two arguments to a colorsole debug method
// the first argument will be used as a line title
console.debug ( "DEBUG", "This is an info message" );
console.info  ( "INFO", "This is an info message" );
console.warn  ( "Warning", "This is an info message" );
console.error ( "ERROR Message", "This is an info message" );

API

Colorsole ( level = INFO, theme = 'dark', stack = 0, date = 0 )

Parameters during Colorsole creations are:

- level:    Level of output of the Colorsole.
			These are the available values:

				- Colorsole.LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG  : the less important message
				- Colorsole.LOG_LEVEL_INFO   : an informative message  [default]
				- Colorsole.LOG_LEVEL_WARN   : a warning
				- Colorsole.LOG_LEVEL_ERROR  : an error message

- theme:	Color scheme to be used. At the moment, only `dark` is available.

- stack: 	Flag T/F. If set to true, the text line shows filename and line number where the message has been written.

- date:     Flag T/F. If set to true, the text lines shows date (YYYYMMDD format) and time (HHMMSS format) 

You can change the level at runtime using this syntax:

// After this line, only error messages will be shown to the console
console.level = Colorsole.LOG_LEVEL_ERROR;

Also stack and date can be toggled at runtime, in this way:

// Enable show stack
console.show_stack = true;

// disable date
console.show_date = false;

debug ( ...args ) - writes a debug messate to the console

info ( ...args ) - writes an info level message to the console
