Basic usage

CodeSandbox

import React from 'react'
import { Hook, Console, Decode } from 'console-feed'

class App extends React.Component {
  state = {
    logs: []
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    Hook(window.console, log => {
      this.setState(({ logs }) => ({ logs: [...logs, Decode(log)] }))
    })

    console.log(`Hello world!`)
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div style={{ backgroundColor: '#242424' }}>
        <Console logs={this.state.logs} variant="dark" />
      </div>
    )
  }
}

Props

logs: Log[]

An array consisting of Log objects. Required

filter?: Methods[]

Filter the logs, only displaying messages of certain methods.

variant?: 'light' | 'dark'

Sets the font color for the component. Default - light

style?: Styles

Defines the custom styles to use on the component - see Styles.d.ts

searchKeywords?: string

A string value to filter logs

logFilter?: Function

If you want to use a custom log filter function, you can provide your own implementation

Log methods

Each log has a method assigned to it. The method is used to determine the style of the message and for the filter prop.

type Methods =
  | 'log'
  | 'warn'
  | 'error'
  | 'info'
  | 'debug'
  | 'command'
  | 'result'

Log object

A log object consists of the following:

type Logs = Log[]

interface Log {
  // The log method
  method: Methods
  // The arguments passed to console API
  data: any[]
}

Serialization

By default when you use the Hook() API, logs are serialized so that they will safely work with JSON.stringify. In order to restore a log back to format compatible with the <Console> component, you need to call the Decode() method.

Disabling serialization

If the Hook function and the <Console /> component are on the same origin, you can disable serialiation to increase performance.

Hook(
  window.console,
  log => {
    this.setState(({ logs }) => ({ logs: [...logs, log] }))
  },
  false
)

Developing

To run console-feed locally, simply run:

yarn
yarn start
yarn test:watch

Head over to http://localhost:3000 in your browser, and you'll see the demo page come up. After you make changes you'll need to reload, but the jest tests will automatically restart.
