xmark

X Marks The Spot: A simple console.log() [debugging] wrapper that allows functions to be passed in.

Why?

1. Save yourself keystrokes by writing x() instead of console.log()
2. x() will also accept a function as a parameter, useful for debugging
3. In a future release, x() can be conditionally silenced to only work in development mode, leaving your console.log() statements alone.

Install

$ npm install --save xmark

Usage

const x = require('xmark');

x(1);
//=> 1

x('2');
//=> '2'

x({3: 3});
//=> {"3": 3}

x(function () {
	return 4;
});
//=> 4

x([1, 2], [3, 4]);
//=> [1, 2] [3, 4]

x(5, 6, 7);
//=> 5 6 7

API

xmark(input)

input

Type: string|number|object|array|function

The object(s) you want to print, or the function(s) you want to run.

Notes

• If you pass a function to xmark, that function must return a value, otherwise, it will just log undefined
• To ensure that they are printable: objects are passed through JSON.stringify(), so be aware of the added double quotes to object keys
