Log Switch

What's the problem?

The problem is so many logs in my program.

for (var i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
  console.log('hello %d', i);
}

Result

hello 0
hello 1
...
hello 99998
hello 99999
[Finished in 40.6s]

As you see the info, call the console.log 100,000 times takes 40.6 second. that's so bad.

Disable console.log

To avoid this situation, you can use LogSwitch to disable it.

var logs = require('log-switch');

logs.disable();

for (var i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
  console.log('hello %d', i);
}

logs.restore();

console.log('over');

Result

over

Auto enable logs

In case the error thrown, LogsSwitch can auto print the last 10 logs.

var logs = require('./log-switch');

logs.setQueueLength(10);
logs.disable();

function test() {
  for (var i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
    if (i === 50000) {
      throw new Error('Error string');
    }
    console.log('hello %d', i);
  }
}

test();

Result

hello 49989
hello 49990
hello 49991
hello 49992
hello 49993
hello 49994
hello 49995
hello 49996
hello 49997
hello 49998
hello 49999

Track logs

track-test.js

function test() {
    console.log('where is this log?');
}

function twiceCall() {
    console.log('second file')
    test();
}

exports.twiceCall = twiceCall;

t.js

var logs = require('log-switch');
var twiceCall = require('./track-test').twiceCall;

logs.track();
console.log('first file');
twiceCall();

logs.restore(); // disable the track

Result

first file
