Debug

A simple wrapper for Console.log

This code provides a simple wrapper for the console's logging methods, and was created to allow a very easy-to-use, cross-browser logging solution, without requiring excessive or unwieldy object detection. If a console object is not detected, all logged messages will be stored internally until a logging callback is added. If a console object is detected, but doesn't have any of the debug, info, warn, and error logging methods, log will be used in their place. For convenience, some of the less common console methods will be passed through to the console object if they are detected, otherwise they will simply fail gracefully.

Targeted platforms

Debug is expected to work on any Javascript 1.2 compliant browser and has been tested on the following platforms:

• Chrome 6 and higher
• Apple Safari 3 and higher
• Mozilla Firefox 2 and higher
• Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows, version 6 and higher
• Opera 10 and higher

Using Debug

To use Debug in your application, you may download the latest release from our Maven Repository and extract debug.js to a suitable location. Then include it early in your HTML like so:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/debug.js"></script>

You may also reference it directly in your maven build, when using maven-javascript-plugin, using the following dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>lu.softec.js</groupId>
  <artifactId>debug</artifactId>
  <version>0.4</version>
  <type>javascript</type>
  <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

Building Debug from source

The build is based on Maven, using our modified maven-javascript-plugin.
