console-shorthand

Tiny utility library that gives you clean, short aliases for common console methods.

Stop typing console.log everywhere — write faster, cleaner logs ⚡

Features

• Short aliases for common console methods
• Easy to remember
• Lightweight (zero dependencies)
• Works in Node.js (ES Modules)

Installation

npm install console-shorthand

Usage

import { cl, cw, ce, ct, cd } from "console-shorthand";

// log
cl("Hello world");

// warning
cw("Warning message");

// error
ce("Something went wrong");

// table
ct([{ name: "Alice", age: 20 }]);

// inspect object
cd({ deep: { nested: { value: 42 } } });

Basic Logging

cl(...args);  // console.log
ci(...args);  // console.info
cw(...args);  // console.warn
ce(...args);  // console.error
cdg(...args); // console.debug

Structured Output

ct(data);     // console.table
cd(obj);      // console.dir (with depth + colors)

Timing

ctg(label);   // console.time
cte(label);   // console.timeEnd

Counting

cc(label);    // console.count
ccr(label);   // console.countReset

Grouping

cg(label);    // console.group
cge();        // console.groupEnd

Utilities

clr();                     // console.clear
ca(condition, ...args);    // console.assert
ctr(...args);              // console.trace

Example

import { cl, ctg, cte } from "console-shorthand";

ctg("process");

cl("Starting...");
for (let i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {}

cte("process");

Why use this?

Instead of:

console.log("data");
console.error("error");
console.warn("warning");

Write:

cl("data");
ce("error");
cw("warning");

Cleaner, faster, and easier to read.
