Noop Console

JavaScript nop console, replace console method calls with no-operations.

Useful to silence all logging- i.e. during testing- or just from one module.

Getting Started

Install the module with: npm install noop-console

Examples

Mute global console:

require('noop-console')(console);

Later if you want to restore the console, you can restore it by calling:

console._restore();

If you create abstract modules with a logger property that references the standard console so that the actual logger implementation is defined outside the module, you can override this with a noop-console.

module.js:

function MyModule(){}
MyModule.prototype.logger = console;

my_test.js:

var MyModule = require('./module');
MyModule.prototype.logger = require('noop-console')();
