base-debug v0.1.0

base-debug

Plugin for debugging your base application.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm i base-debug --save

Usage

To test-drive the plugin, add this to example.js (or just use the examples/example.js file in this project):

var debug = require('base-debug');
var Base = require('base');
var base = new Base();

base.use(debug('foo'));

var one = base.debug('one');
var two = base.debug('two');

one('this is one!');
two('this is two!');

Then, in the command line:

• run DEBUG=base:* node example
• then try DEBUG=base:one node example

(See the debug docs for more information about using debug on all platforms.)

Namespace

Inside your plugin, register the debug() plugin, passing the name of your plugin as the "namespace" to use:

// given you have a plugin named `base-foo`
function baseFoo(options) {
  return function(app) {
    app.use(debug('foo'));

    // then call the `app.debug` method
    var debug = app.debug();
    
    // then use it like this:
    debug('yelling abc: %s', 'ABC!');
    debug('yelling xyz: %s', 'XYZ!');
  }
}

When your plugin is registered, like this:

// Add your plugin
var base = new Base();
base.use(baseFoo());

and the DEBUG=base:foo command is used, you should see something like this in the terminal:

(See the debug docs for more information about using debug on all platforms.)

Sub-namespaces

Optionally use "sub-namespaces":

function baseFoo(options) {
  return function(app) {
    app.use(debug('foo'));
  
    // namespace `foo:one`
    var one = app.debug('one');

    // namespace `foo:two`
    var two = app.debug('two');
    
    // then use it like this:
    one('yelling abc: %s', 'ABC!');
    two('yelling xyz: %s', 'XYZ!');
  }
}

When your plugin is registered, like this:

// Add your plugin
var base = new Base();
base.use(baseFoo());

and the following commands are used:

• DEBUG=base:foo:*, or
• DEBUG=base:foo:one, or
• DEBUG=base:foo:two

You should see something like this in the terminal:

(See the debug docs for more information about using debug on all platforms.)
