ConsoleDot

I can't believe I shipped to github and npm without a README. I'm usually a stickler for at least a placeholder //TODO version.

Summary

So, I made this mostly for me. Probably to solve a bad debug habit of rabbit holing via console.log. "Oh, ok let's just add a bunch of console.logs (sometimes on the server) and see whats happening." This module does not implement a better debugging method it simply enables you (read: me) to use this one more efficiently.

Plain and simple example, we want to see what a function is doing so we add this to the callback:

fs.readFile('path/to/file', function () {
    console.log('debug: we read the file?');
    console.log(arguments);
    console.log('++++++++++++++++++++++')
});

Becomes:

fs.readFile('path/to/file', console.callback(true, 'debug: we read the file?'));

Installation

npm install console-dot

Usage (Basic)

console = require('console-dot');
// access to console.callback have been gifted to you

Usage (More)

// TODO

Changelog

Because of this guy. I'm probably starting out wrong but I am atleast trying, Olivier.

v0.1.0

Essentially does the above basic implementation modifying console to to provide a callback() method that returns a curried function with your message. Keystroke savers, etc.
