nodejs-debug

Introdution

I used debug in most of my projects, it's a very good library. But there are some limitations as I have to write a new library to serve my projects. It is based on debug

Difference

nodejs-debug works similarly to debug but:

• Automatically adding :error after namespace when input intanceof Error object
• Added a log method to instead of console.log, the difference for console.log is that it supports namespace (that's all)
• Fixes 'Automatic enable debugging on other modules that use debug library' when run (DEBUG = * node [file])
• Automatically define color for namespace based on namespace and module.parent.filename, avoid color duplication problem when namespace is the same.

Installation

npm install nodejs-debug

DEBUG=* node index.js
