Usage

var silencer =  require('silencer');

Disable console log outputs

silencer.reset();
silencer.disable('log');
console.log('one');
console.log('two');
silencer.restore(); // restore methods, keep traces
silencer.getOutput('log') // == [['one'], ['two']]

Disable all console methods

silencer.reset();
silencer.disable();
console.log('one');
console.info('three');
silencer.restore();
silencer.getOutput('log') // == [['one']]
silencer.getOutput('info') // == [['three']]

Use for mocking other objects

let mockObject = {
	test: function(){ throw Error('service not available') }
}
silencer.reset();
silencer.setSubject(mockObject);
silencer.disable();
mockObject.test(); // no error thrown
silencer.restore();
//
silencer.getOutput('test'); // == [[]] mean called once without parameters

On off

silencer.on(console);
// use 
console.log('one');
console.info('three');
// off
silencer.off();
// get results if needed
silencer.getOutput('log') // == [['one']]
silencer.getOutput('info') // == [['three']]
