Introduction

Tame the JS console by automagically grouping console messages.

* Simple: Drop in replacement for the full console API.
* Automatic: Groups messages by each Event Loop iteration.
* Easier Debugging: Makes it much clearer to see what is going on in your app.
* Adds Time Stamps: Each grouping can be timestamped, to help better see what is happening.
* Reliable: Uses a Microtask to ensure the message group is always closed on time.

A more readable console output in a couple of minutes.

Install

Install _auto-console-group_ via npm.

``sh
npm install auto-console-group
`

Or download auto-console-group.js

Setup

The createAutoConsoleGroup() creates a console object with all the same methods as the regular console object,
plus a few additional methods to control how a group is displayed.

`js
import createAutoConsoleGroup from 'auto-console-group'

const consoleGroup = createAutoConsoleGroup({ label: 'autoConsoleGroup' })

// All console methods are reflected on consoleGroup
consoleGroup.log('Log message')
consoleGroup.table(['foo', 'bar'])
consoleGroup.count('Counter')

// Set the Event in the group heading
consoleGroup.event('myEvent')
``
