@superhero/debug v1.1.14

Debug

Licence: MIT

A debug utility for pretty log output..

Install

npm install @superhero/debug

...or just set the dependency in your package.json file:

{
  "dependencies":
  {
    "@superhero/debug": "*"
  }
}

Example

const
Debug = require('@superhero/debug'),
debug = new Debug(/* options */);

debug.log('what is this?', {foo:'bar', baz:'qux'});

// outputs something like the following in the console log (color coded):
/*
  2017-11-17 13:20:40:	what is this?	{ foo: 'bar',
    baz: 'qux' }
*/

Or the shorter version if you don't need to define any options:

require('@superhero/debug').log('what is this?', {foo:'bar', baz:'qux'});
