console-redirect

Redirects console methods to the given writable streams. For example, can be used to redirect browser console to process.stdout and process.stderr.

Install

npm install console-redirect --save

Example

var redirect = require('console-redirect')

// redirect browser's console.log and console.error
// to the process stdout and stderr, respectively
redirect(process.stdout, process.stderr)

The following entry point registers the above, hooking into process stdout and stderr:

require('console-redirect/process')

Usage

log = redirect([stdout], [stderr], [replace])

Directs console methods to the given stdout and stderr writable streams (which can be null).

The warn and error methods are directed to stderr, the rest to stdout.

If replace is true (default false), it will not trigger the original method. In the context of a browser, this means it will not print to the terminal.

Return an object with the function release, which can be used to reset the console log methods to their original.

var redirect = require('console-redirect')

// listen for stdout
// ignore stderr
// do not write native methods
var logger = redirect(process.stdout, null, true)

// ... some time later, release it
logger.release()
