Installation

 $ npm install node-debug-tool

Usage

The DEBUG_MODE environment variable, must be set to a namespace in order to see the debugging information.

Code example:

 
  var ab = require('../lib/node-debug-tool')('Foo:bar:x');
  var abc = require('../lib/node-debug-tool')('foo:bar:y');
  var abcd = require('../lib/node-debug-tool')('foo:abc');
  var abcde = require('../lib/node-debug-tool')('other');
 
  ab.log('Some foo bar x');
  abc.log('Some foo bar y');
  abcd.log('Some foo abc');
  other.log('Some other');

The code above possible outputs:

1. in case of running with DEBUG_MODE=*:

   [Foo:Bar:X] [Debug] "Some foo bar x"  +0ms
   [Foo:Bar:Y] [Debug] "Some foo bar y"  +0ms
   [Foo:Abc] [Debug] "Some foo abc"  +0ms
   [Other] [Debug] "Some other"  +0ms

1. in case of running with DEBUG_MODE=foo:*:

   [Foo:Bar:X] [Debug] "Some foo bar x"  +0ms
   [Foo:Bar:Y] [Debug] "Some foo bar y"  +0ms
   [Foo:Abc] [Debug] "Some foo abc"  +0ms

1. in case of running with DEBUG_MODE=foo:bar:*:

   [Foo:Bar:X] [Debug] "Some foo bar x"  +0ms
   [Foo:Bar:Y] [Debug] "Some foo bar y"  +0ms

1. in case of running with DEBUG_MODE=foo:bar:x:

   [Foo:Bar:X] [Debug] "Some foo bar x"  +0ms
