mock-console-es v1.0.6

Mock-Console-ES is a small ES module implementation of a console mock. It allows enabling, disabling, and capturing the output of the built-in console methods.

Features

• ECMAScript Module
• CommonJS Bundle Included
• Typescript Compatible

Installation

npm install mock-console-es

import MockConsole from 'mock-console-es';

Usage

Creation

const logger = new MockConsole()

Note: The mock is a singleton. Every time new is called on the mock it'll return the same instance

MockConsole.disable()

Disables the built-in console methods (ie log, info, error)

const logger = new MockConsole();
logger.disable();
console.log('This will NOT print to the console');

MockConsole.restore()

Restores the built-in console methods after they've been disabled

const logger = new MockConsole();
logger.disable();
console.log('This will NOT print to the console');
logger.restore();
console.log('This WILL print to the console');
> This WILL print to the console

MockConsole.capture()

Capture is used to store the console output so it can be retrieved later for testing

const logger = new MockConsole();
logger.capture();
console.log('This message will be captured');
logger.restore();
console.log(logger.logs);
> [ 'This message will be captured' ]

Captured logs are stored in an array

• console.log -> MockConsole.logs[]
• console.info -> MockConsole.infos[]
• console.error -> MockConsole.errors[]

MockConsole.flush()

Flush removes all previously captured logs

const logger = new MockConsole();
logger.capture();
console.log('This message will be captured');
logger.restore();
console.log(logger.logs);
> [ 'This message will be captured' ]
logger.flush();
console.log(logger.logs);
> []

CommonJS

A .cjs bundle is included for CommonJS compatibility

const { MockConsole } = require('mock-console-es');

Typings

Typings are generated from JSDoc using Typescript. They are 100% compatible with VSCode Intellisense and will work seamlessly with Typescript.
