TConsole

Bring browser console to your terminal

What it does

TConsole send the browser console log to your terminal.

It also comes with a nodejs REPL so you can do some basic draft code

When to use it

While you developing your front-end app and you have to switch back and forth between IDE and browser.

How to use it?

There are two ways and it depends on your preferences

Recommended way

1. Install the tconsole binary : npm install --save-dev tconsole ( you also can install globally with npm install -g tconsole )
2. Go to the entry file of your project (I.e: app.jsx for React.js or main.js for vue.js)
3. Insert these two lines: import tconsole from "t-console"; tconsole();
4. You should now see your console log stream to this terminal

Note: with this approach you might want to remove two lines above in production.

By default tconsole will not run if it detects production mode using NODE_ENV, but you shouldn't rely on that.

I don't want to add dependencies to my project

1. Install the tconsole binary : npm install -g tconsole
2. Start the server tconsole
3. Go to your browser and open the console window
4. Copy all code except for the last export line from index.js file to console
5. Enter tconsole() in side console
6. You should now see your console log stream to this terminal

Note: with this approach you have to do all steps 3-6 every-time you refresh your browser tab.

Advanced options

Future release

• Install using <script/> tag
• (Maybe) An extension to start tconsole on browser so we don't have to install dependencies
• (If possible) Browser console REPL instead of nodejs REPL
