textarea-log

Create a textarea where debug log can be written.

This was created due to the difficulty I had when copying lengthy debug logs created by console.log.

clone

$ fossil clone https://chiselapp.com/user/frostbane/repository/textarea-log textarea-log.fossil
$ fossil open textarea-log.fossil

usage

<script type="text/javascript"
        src="textarea.js"></script>

// show textarea
textarea.show();

// output some log to text area
textarea.log("date and time now is :", new Date());

documentation

install dependencies

$ npm install

generate documentation and see doc/textarea-log/index.html for the complete API

$ ./node_modules/.bin/grunt document

Basic API

show

show the textarea

void textarea.show();

hide

hide the textarea

void textarea.hide();

getBuffer

get the text area buffer content

String textarea.getBuffer();

clear

everytime the buffer is cleared the cleared contents is added to the buffer history

void textarea.clear();

getHistory

String[] textarea.getHistory();

clearHistory

Injecting the console

``console.log(), console.error()`, etc. will also be logging the output to the textarea.

textarea.injectConsole();

console.log(new Date(), console injection completed.");
