prut v0.0.4

Your new best friend when developing, and probably ONLY for development

💨 p()

p('Awesome!!')          // Logs awesome

fetch('https://cats')
.then(x => x.json())
.then(p)                // Logs the json result
.then(store)

a.neat().p.chain.p.here // Logs result of `neat` and `chain`

const wat = p`wat`

wat('is going on')      // Logs `wat is going on`

This module adds a global p and global prut* variable which is a convenience method for logging.

It simply defers to console.log, but returns the first argument instead of undefined.

If it is called as a tagged template literal it will return a new p function that always prefixes logs with the value in the template literal.

It also adds p and prut to Object.prototype to enable even quicker logging. This way you can jump into a chain at any place to log the value and continue with your program as if nothing happened.

* (for times when p is shadowed)

Example require

Node at launch

node -r prut index.js   # -r option is short for --require

Browser

<script src="https//unpkg.com/prut">

Node in file

require('prut')         // Adds the global p

Node global

You can use prut in place of node which is just a shortcut for node -r prut ...

prut index.js
