Question 1

How does console.log-wrapper compare to console-polyfill?

Accepted Answer

Console.log-wrapper goes beyond basic polyfilling by enhancing output readability and automatically loading Firebug Lite for full support in legacy browsers, whereas console-polyfill typically only adds missing console functions without extra features.

Question 2

Can I use console.log-wrapper in Node.js?

Accepted Answer

No, it's designed for client-side browsers to handle cross-browser inconsistencies; Node.js has a consistent console, so using it there would be redundant and unsupported.

Question 3

How to prevent Firebug Lite from loading with console.log-wrapper?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't provide a configuration option to disable Firebug Lite loading; it's automatic when no console is detected, so users might need to modify the library code to avoid this.

Question 4

Does console.log-wrapper support log levels like info or error?

Accepted Answer

No, it only wraps console.log for basic logging, as stated in the features, so it lacks support for other console methods, which might require additional polyfills or libraries.

Question 5

How to integrate console.log-wrapper with a build tool like Webpack?

Accepted Answer

Since it supports AMD and CommonJS, you can import it via require or import statements, but the README doesn't offer specific guidance for modern bundlers, leaving setup details to the user.

Question 6

What browsers does console.log-wrapper exactly support?

Accepted Answer

It explicitly supports legacy browsers like IE7-10, iOS 5, and Opera 11, ensuring logging works even without native consoles, as detailed in the README's compatibility notes.
