Features

Custom Formatting You can easily customize the formatting of log messages, warnings, and errors by specifying color, style, and background options.

Silent Mode You can control whether log messages are visible by using the setMode({ silent: true/false }) method. When silent mode is active, logs will not be visible in the console.
