browser-stdout

What is browser-stdout?

The browser-stdout npm package is designed to provide a writable stream for the browser's console, mimicking the behavior of process.stdout in Node.js environments. This is particularly useful for libraries that are designed to work both in Node.js and in the browser, allowing them to write output to the console in a unified way.

What are browser-stdout's main functionalities?

Writable Stream for Console

This code snippet demonstrates how to redirect all console.log outputs to the browser-stdout stream. It creates a writable stream that mimics process.stdout and overrides the default console.log method to use this stream instead.

var stdout = require('browser-stdout')();
console.log = function() { stdout.write.apply(stdout, arguments); };

Other packages similar to browser-stdout

console-stream

The console-stream package provides a similar functionality by creating a stream that writes to the console. It is comparable to browser-stdout but might offer different API options or additional features for handling console output in browser environments.

stream-browserify

While primarily a browser shim for Node's core stream module, stream-browserify includes capabilities that can be used to handle browser-based streaming similar to what browser-stdout offers. It provides a more comprehensive set of stream functionalities, which might be more suitable for complex applications that require robust streaming capabilities.

README

wat?

process.stdout in your browser.

wai?

iono. cuz hakz.

hau?

var BrowserStdout = require('browser-stdout')

myStream.pipe(BrowserStdout())

monkey

You can monkey-patch process.stdout for your dependency graph like this:

process.stdout = require('browser-stdout')()
var coolTool = require('module-that-uses-stdout-somewhere-in-its-depths')

opts

opts are passed directly to stream.Writable. additionally, a label arg can be used to label console output.

BrowserStdout({
  objectMode: true,
  label: 'dataz',
})

ur doin it rong

i accept pr's.
