console.js

A tiny, dependency-less package for printing pretty, timestamped messages to the console.

Installation

npm i @nottimtam/console.js

Usage

ES6

import { log, warn, success } from "@nottimtam/console.js";

log("This is a regular log.");
warn("This is a warning.");
success("This is a success message!");

CJS

const { log, warn, success } = require("@nottimtam/console.js");

log("This is a regular log.");
warn("This is a warning.");
success("This is a success message!");

Reference

Several methods and resources are exposed by this package.

The log, warn, success, error, and info methods take a variable number of arguments and display them on the screen in a timestamped, color-coded format.

The bottom method does the same, but attempts to log the message at the very bottom of the console. This uses process.stdout and is not supported by all console systems.

The dateString method returns a formatted date string of the current date/time, in the same format used by the logging methods.

The colorReference object stores easy-to-use references for each color used in console logging in case more customization is needed.
