EvilJS - The Runtime Debugger for Lazy Developers

Sometimes using a full blown debugger is too much, or not possible, thats when its time to get EVIL!

#Hows it work?

Evil does exactly what it sounds like, it does something EVIL, it adds a prototype function to Javascripts core Types
Evil Supports!
Object.prototype.evil
Number.prototype.evil
Boolean.prototype.evil
Array.prototype.evil
String.prototype.evil

#Install

npm install evil-js --save

#Usage

require('evil-js'); 
//
// write some code
//
let fred = { x : 0 };
//
// do some stuff, and need to debug fred, because your lost as hell
// continue writing your code like usual! except use .evil() to access its value
//
if(fred.evil()){
    // do stuff
}

Output :

[DEBUG]	:	{"x":0}

#Advanced Usage

Evil.log = console.log;

Lets you modify the logger, by default its set to console.log, but you can set it to any method that takes in a String

Evil.pad = (typeof process !== 'undefined'?process.env.EVIL_PAD:false);

pre/post pad evil logs, defaults to false so it doesnt pad, but if you set to ' ' (truthy) it will for instance add an extra line before and after the logs

Evil.stack = (typeof process !== 'undefined'?process.env.EVIL_STACK:false);

outputs the stack trace of the evil caller, (removes evils internal part of the stack)

Evil.pretty = (typeof process !== 'undefined'?process.env.EVIL_PRETTY:false);

When evil outputs values it uses JSON.stringify(value, null, 0), pretty makes the 0 a 3

Evil.bypass = (typeof process !== 'undefined'?process.env.NODE_ENV==='production':false);

stops evil from being completely evil, still adds evil function but removes all functionality

Feel free to override these values at any point either by changing the env vars or by assigning Evil[property]

#True Evil

Evil is chainable?! well of course! it actually has to be

var variable = { key : '7' };

if(variable.evil('obj').key.evil('value')){

}

#Output

[obj]	:	if(variable.evil('obj').key.evil('value')){	 : 	{"key":"7"}
[value]	:	if(variable.evil('obj').key.evil('value')){	 : 	"7"

Labeling Evil

Evil allows you to label calls
obj.evil('my label')

if you have Evil.filter set to an array it will only log ones whos label are contained in said array

Evil.filter = ['safey'];

obj.evil('yolo')

obj.evil('safey')

Only safety will be debugged
