Good Bye console.log,no console.log in 2022

SHIVANSH PATEL on December 31, 2021

yes you heard it right. we frequently use console.log() to check our outputs in console, it's ok in Development mode but it is highly disgraced in...

But you remove all of the semantic meaning behind the console.error, console.warn etc. as you just console.log everything and add no useful extra information or functionality.

So the question is...why???, this is objectively worse than using native console.

All your concerns are addressed and latest update is released. please tell me why are u overhyping console.log, console.log is just a wrapper

Console.prototype.log = function() {
  this._stdout.write(util.format.apply(this, arguments) + '\n');
};

I think @inhuofficial is thinking about it in terms of a browser console or tools inside something like Electron. If you were to use your system for client-side code you effectively remove a LOT of the extras provided by the console commands.

Like the ability to filter by type. Where's the link to the filename and line of code the console was called from? You're doing the message, but you're omitting a bunch of very useful features, both client-side and server-side.

Your goofy hard to read colours aren't doing any favors if we don't know what file, function, line, and character offset in the line the report was done from!

Sorry about the "goofy' part. System colours often fail accessibility minimums, and on the whole I'm not a fan of ever-shifting colours. Thus my intense dislike for the illegible acid trip that is colour syntax highlighting. My attitude towards coloured code is basically:

🎵Hate is a strong word, but I really really really don't like you🎵

Jokes aside, without the back-reference or a backtrace or anything else to tell you where the log/warn/error came from, this is as InHu said, somewhat crippled and a step backwards from the native methods.

But what do I know? I have this in several of my codebases because I find console.error to be "incomplete and crippled"

     libError = (routine, message, ...data) => {
            console.log(
                libraryName,
                " - Error reported by ",
                routine, 
                "\r\nbacktrace:"
            );
            console.trace();
            throw new Error(message);
        }; // libError

Because if it's an error, that **** should stop dead in its tracks, not blindly plod on like nothing is wrong!

SHIVANSH PATEL • Dec 31 '21

Now its changed,see the latest update

Ez Pz Developement • Jan 1 '22

i want the advantages , why are you hiding my comment ???

SHIVANSH PATEL • Jan 1 '22

You will get the advantages just wait for few days 👍

what is the advantages of using this library, because i can see none ?

Minecodes • Dec 31 '21

This is a good idea 😉
I've programmed it myself so far, but I think you have a better solution than me.

SHIVANSH PATEL • Dec 31 '21

Thanks bro, I just launched it 2 days ago 😀

Minecodes • Dec 31 '21

I made a pull request 😉

SHIVANSH PATEL • Dec 31 '21

Thanks for your contribution , let me check i will surely approve your PR

SHIVANSH PATEL • Dec 31 '21

PR approved 🎉

Seven • Jan 1 '22

implement on your own is always the good way to learn something, after checking your repo I found one issue which we got the same date even using a timer, PR raised.

SHIVANSH PATEL • Jan 1 '22

Ok bro let me check 👍

SHIVANSH PATEL • Jan 2 '22

PR APPROVED

Muzammil • Jan 2 '22

If I really need a logger on production, then I would rather log to the file or a log server instead of the console.
I don't know what's the benefit of using a 3rd party console logger.
