debug
A tiny JavaScript debugging utility modeled after Node.js core's debugging technique, working in Node.js and browsers.
What is debug?
debug is a lightweight JavaScript debugging utility that provides namespaced, controllable logging for both Node.js and browser environments. It solves the problem of messy, uncontrolled console.log statements by allowing developers to enable or disable debug output for specific modules or features using environment variables or localStorage. This makes it easier to isolate and troubleshoot issues during development without cluttering production logs.
JavaScript developers building Node.js applications, web applications, or libraries who need a structured way to manage debug output across different environments and deployment stages.
Developers choose debug for its simplicity, cross-platform compatibility, and fine-grained control over logging. Unlike built-in console methods, it offers namespace organization, color-coded output, and runtime configurability without adding significant overhead to the codebase.
