:wrench: Vite Remove Console Plugin

vite-remove-console is a Vite plugin designed to help you clean up console statements (e.g., console.log, console.warn) from your code during the build process. It ensures that your production build is free from unnecessary console statements, improving both security and performance.

Features

• Removes specified console methods (e.g., log, info, warn, error) during the build phase.
• Targets only non-node_modules files to preserve library functionality.
• Easy to configure with custom log levels.
• Uses @hw-rust/remove-console-core, a Rust-based WebAssembly (WASM) package, for efficient console string removal.

Installation

To install the plugin, run:

npm install -D vite-remove-console

or

yarn add -D vite-remove-console

or

pnpm add -D vite-remove-console

Usage

To use the plugin, import it and add it to your Vite configuration file (vite.config.ts or vite.config.js):

Example Configuration

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import removeConsole from "vite-remove-console";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    removeConsole(), // Default remove target is only "log".
  ],
});

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    removeConsole({
      removeLevels: ["log", "info", "warn", "error"], // Specify the console methods to remove.
    }),
  ],
});

Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
removeLevels	LogLevels[]	[log]	Array of console levels to remove (e.g., log, info, warn, error).

How It Works

• The plugin scans the source code during the Vite build process.
• It utilizes @hw-rust/remove-console-core, a Rust-based WebAssembly package, to efficiently match and remove specified console statements from non-node_modules files.
• The resulting production build is free of the targeted console statements.

Example

Given the following code in your development environment:

console.log("Debug message");
console.error("Error message");

With the configuration removeLevels: ['log'], the resulting production build will look like:

console.error("Error message");
