trace-line
A function to aid debugging by logging the line number and filename when executed, optionally passing a value to display
Install the plugin
npm install trace-line --save-dev
To use as an import or required
Require or import the module
var trace = require('trace-line');
or if you are using import
import trace from 'trace-line';
Call the function in your code
trace();
var x = 33;
trace(x);
will produce
--- Line #1 of <your filename>.js hit ---
--- Line #3 of <your filename>.js hit with value of:
33
If desired for more compact usage you could name the function something smaller like this:
var d = require('trace-line');
...
d();
To use as a global
A global trace
function is also created when the module is imported/required. Just make sure that you import
the module somewhere before the first call to trace. From then on it can be called in anywhere without re-importing. This is,
of course, not a best practice for Javascript code... but this library is only to be used for debugging. You could
potentially leave these statements in your code after deployment, but there is a small performance penalty and it
clutters up your logs, so I suggest removing them.
