Advanced tools
PouchDB.debug()
API as a standalone module. Provides direct access to debug which can be used for debugging PouchDB's internal operations.
This module is currently part of PouchDB core; you don't need to do anything to use it. However, in PouchDB v7.0.0 the debug()
API will be moved to a separate plugin.
npm install pouchdb-debug
Then attach it to PouchDB
:
var pouchdbDebug = require('pouchdb-debug');
PouchDB.plugin(pouchdbDebug);
To enable debug mode, just call:
PouchDB.debug.enable('*');
Then look in your browser console.
In Node.js, you can also set a command-line flag:
DEBUG=pouchdb:* node myscript.js
You can also enable debugging of specific modules. Currently we only have pouchb:api
(API-level calls) and pouchdb:http
(HTTP requests):
PouchDB.debug.enable('pouchdb:api'); // or
PouchDB.debug.enable('pouchdb:http');
These settings are saved to the browser's LocalStorage. So to disable them, you must call:
PouchDB.debug.disable();
Your users won't see debug output unless you explicitly call PouchDB.debug.enable()
within your application code.
For full API documentation and guides on PouchDB, see PouchDB.com. For details on PouchDB sub-packages, see the Custom Builds documentation.
PouchDB and its sub-packages are distributed as a monorepo.
