MobLog-JS

JavaScript console for mobile development.

This repo is still under development, more features will be added later

Inspired by https://github.com/chinchang/screenlog.js, I thought screenlog.js lacked many useful features so I started working on this.

This is what it looks like

Initialize it like this, in your document's head before any other script is loaded.

<script src="mob-log.js"></script>
<script>
	MobLog.init({
		intercept : ['log', 'info', 'error'],
		catchErrors : true
		allowInput : true
	});
</script>

Options

intercept [array]

Defines which type of window.console calls will also be logged in MobLog (only support for .log(), .info() and .error() in this version).

catchErrors [boolean]

Enables or disables logging window errors (often caused by bugs/typos/malfunctioning code or browser incompatibility).

allowInput [boolean]

Adds an input field to the console where you can insert JavaScript code, this is done using eval() so NEVER EVER use this option in production.

Once MobLog has been initialized it can't be initialized again, this is due to the fact that someone could re-initialize it and get access to the allowInput option.

Todo

• Syntax highlighting for objects
• Object folding (instead of showing the raw object string)
• Responsiveness
• Browser support tests
• Broader range of options (e.g. for styling or position)
• Add option to post data to a server in set intervals

Changelog

11-04

• System errors now have an option to show the exact line at which the error occured (by clicking the [filename.extension:lineno] link)

This does require MobLog to run on a http webserver though, it won't work on file://
