grunt-remove-logging-calls

About

This plugin removes/replaces all or any part of console logging statements from javascript code. It handles complex cases like console.log('hello: ' + foo(), bar()) because it's based on the syntax tree given by Esprima.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt. Install this plugin with the command:

npm install grunt-remove-logging-calls

Once the plugin has been installed, enable it inside the Gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-remove-logging-calls');

Finally, add some configuration.

Configuration

grunt.initConfig({
    // ...
 
    removeLoggingCalls: {
        // the files inside which you want to remove the console statements
 		files: ['src/**/*.js'],
 		options: {
 			// an array of method names to remove
            methods: ['log', 'info', 'assert'], 
            
            // replacement strategy
            strategy: function(consoleStatement) {
                // comments console calls statements
                return '/* ' + consoleStatement + '*/';
 
                // return ''; // to remove 
            },
            
            // when the logging statement is ended by a semicolon ';'
            // include it in the 'consoleStatement' given to the strategy
            removeSemicolonIfPossible: true
        
        }
    }
 
    // ...
});
