console-counter.js

In-browser console to watch changeable values like counters or FPS.

Rationale

While console.log is helpful for debugging, it does not work well for watching values that change quickly, like counters, (x, y) coordinates, or FPS. That's where console-counter comes in.

console-counter.js quickly and easily creates an in-browser console and attaches it to a corner of the screen.

Code Example

const ConsoleCounter = require('console-counter');

const counter = new ConsoleCounter()

let n = 0
setInterval(() => counter.log(n++), 250)
