The Dark Side of Open Source
At Node Congress, Socket CEO Feross Aboukhadijeh uncovers the darker aspects of open source, where applications that rely heavily on third-party dependencies can be exploited in supply chain attacks.

Package description
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.
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); };
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.
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
process.stdout
in your browser.
iono. cuz hakz.
var BrowserStdout = require('browser-stdout')
myStream.pipe(BrowserStdout())
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 are passed directly to stream.Writable
.
additionally, a label arg can be used to label console output.
BrowserStdout({
objectMode: true,
label: 'dataz',
})
