ng-lifecycle-debug v1.0.2

Angular Lifecycle Debugging Logger

Decorator to quickly add logging for Angular lifecycle hooks in your components

Minimal markup - no more adding console logs to see what your components are doing!

Installation

npm install --save-dev ng-lifecycle-debug

Usage

import { DebugLifeCycle } from 'ng-lifecycle-debug';

@DebugLifeCycle()
@Component({
  selector: 'app-sheep-stacker',
  templateUrl: './sheep-stacker.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./sheep-stacker.component.scss']
})
export class SheepStackerComponent implements OnInit, OnChanges {

  @Input() initialStack: number;
  private initialStack$: BehaviorSubject<number>;
  sheepCount$: Observable<number>;

  public ngOnInit(): void {
    this.initialStack$ = new BehaviorSubject<number>(this.initialStack);
    this.sheepCount$ = this.initialStack$.asObservable().pipe(
      switchMap((count) => interval(1000).pipe(map((val) => val + count)))
    );
  }

  public ngOnChanges(changes: SimpleChanges): void {
    if (changes['initialStack'] && !isNaN(+changes['initialStack'].currentValue)) {
      this.initialStack$ && this.initialStack$.next(changes.initialStack.currentValue);
    }
  }

}

// -- Console Output --
// Awesome ngOnInit happened in SheepStackerComponent
// Awesome ngAfterViewInit happened in SheepStackerComponent

// -- Console Output --

// ngAfterViewInit called for SheepStackerComponent

Options

Defaults

Default options are to log the ngOnInit, ngOnChanges, ngAfterViewInit, and ngOnDestroy lifecycle hooks using a simple console.log, with a more advanced version using console.group for ngOnChanges.

Simple Options

The decorator accepts simplified options for quicker and more limited use:

Note that the default function map (that has a different output for ngOnChanges) is still used if a function is given as a single argument. To override this, use the advanced options with logFunc and pass an empty object as the logFuncMap.

Advanced Options

Options are passed as an object with one or more of the following keys:

Note: the default function map (that has a different output for ngOnChanges) is still used if a function is given as a single argument. For overriding it when
