7 A tiny JavaScript debugging utility modelled after Node.js core's debugging
8 technique. Works in Node.js and web browsers.
9
10 ## Installation
11
12 ```bash
13 $ npm install debug
14 ```
15
16 ## Usage
17
18 `debug` exposes a function; simply pass this function the name of your module, and it will return a decorated version of `console.error` for you to pass debug statements to. This will allow you to toggle the debug output for different parts of your module as well as the module as a whole.
19
20 Example [_app.js_](./examples/node/app.js):
21
22 ```js
23 var debug = require('debug')('http')
24   , http = require('http')
25   , name = 'My App';
26
27 // fake app
28
29 debug('booting %o', name);
30
31 http.createServer(function(req, res){
32   debug(req.method + ' ' + req.url);
33   res.end('hello\n');
34 }).listen(3000, function(){
35   debug('listening');
36 });
37
38 // fake worker of some kind
39
40 require('./worker');
41 ```
42
43 Example [_worker.js_](./examples/node/worker.js):
44
45 ```js
46 var a = require('debug')('worker:a')
47   , b = require('debug')('worker:b');
48
49 function work() {
50   a('doing lots of uninteresting work');
51   setTimeout(work, Math.random() * 1000);
52 }
53
54 work();
55
56 function workb() {
57   b('doing some work');
58   setTimeout(workb, Math.random() * 2000);
59 }
60
61 workb();
62 ```
63
64 The `DEBUG` environment variable is then used to enable these based on space or
65 comma-delimited names.
66
67 Here are some examples:
68
69 <img width="647" alt="screen shot 2017-08-08 at 12 53 04 pm" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/71256/29091703-a6302cdc-7c38-11e7-8304-7c0b3bc600cd.png">
70 <img width="647" alt="screen shot 2017-08-08 at 12 53 38 pm" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/71256/29091700-a62a6888-7c38-11e7-800b-db911291ca2b.png">
71 <img width="647" alt="screen shot 2017-08-08 at 12 53 25 pm" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/71256/29091701-a62ea114-7c38-11e7-826a-2692bedca740.png">
72
73 #### Windows note
74
75 On Windows the environment variable is set using the `set` command.
76
77 ```cmd
78 set DEBUG=*,-not_this
79 ```
80
81 Note that PowerShell uses different syntax to set environment variables.
82
83 ```cmd
84 $env:DEBUG = "*,-not_this"
85 ```
86
87 Then, run the program to be debugged as usual.
88
89
90 ## Namespace Colors
91
92 Every debug instance has a color generated for it based on its namespace name.
93 This helps when visually parsing the debug output to identify which debug instance
94 a debug line belongs to.
95
96 #### Node.js
97
98 In Node.js, colors are enabled when stderr is a TTY. You also _should_ install
99 the [`supports-color`](https://npmjs.org/supports-color) module alongside debug,
100 otherwise debug will only use a small handful of basic colors.

103
104 #### Web Browser
105
106 Colors are also enabled on "Web Inspectors" that understand the `%c` formatting
107 option. These are WebKit web inspectors, Firefox ([since version
108 31](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/05/editable-box-model-multiple-selection-sublime-text-keys-much-more-firefox-developer-tools-episode-31/))
109 and the Firebug plugin for Firefox (any version).
110
111 <img width="524" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/71256/29092033-b65f9f2e-7c39-11e7-8e32-f6f0d8e865c1.png">

113
114 ## Millisecond diff
115
116 When actively developing an application it can be useful to see when the time spent between one `debug()` call and the next. Suppose for example you invoke `debug()` before requesting a resource, and after as well, the "+NNNms" will show you how much time was spent between calls.
117
118 <img width="647" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/71256/29091486-fa38524c-7c37-11e7-895f-e7ec8e1039b6.png">
119
120 When stdout is not a TTY, `Date#toISOString()` is used, making it more useful for logging the debug information as shown below:
121
122 <img width="647" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/71256/29091956-6bd78372-7c39-11e7-8c55-c948396d6edd.png">
123
124
125 ## Conventions
126
127 If you're using this in one or more of your libraries, you _should_ use the name of your library so that developers may toggle debugging as desired without guessing names. If you have more than one debuggers you _should_ prefix them with your library name and use ":" to separate features. For example "bodyParser" from Connect would then be "connect:bodyParser".  If you append a "*" to the end of your name, it will always be enabled regardless of the setting of the DEBUG environment variable.  You can then use it for normal output as well as debug output.
128
129 ## Wildcards
130
131 The `*` character may be used as a wildcard. Suppose for example your library has
132 debuggers named "connect:bodyParser", "connect:compress", "connect:session",
133 instead of listing all three with
134 `DEBUG=connect:bodyParser,connect:compress,connect:session`, you may simply do
135 `DEBUG=connect:*`, or to run everything using this module simply use `DEBUG=*`.
136
137 You can also exclude specific debuggers by prefixing them with a "-" character.
138 For example, `DEBUG=*,-connect:*` would include all debuggers except those
139 starting with "connect:".
140
141 ## Environment Variables
142
143 When running through Node.js, you can set a few environment variables that will
144 change the behavior of the debug logging:
145
146 | Name      | Purpose                                         |
147 |-----------|-------------------------------------------------|
148 | `DEBUG`   | Enables/disables specific debugging namespaces. |
149 | `DEBUG_HIDE_DATE` | Hide date from debug output (non-TTY).  |
150 | `DEBUG_COLORS`| Whether or not to use colors in the debug output. |
151 | `DEBUG_DEPTH` | Object inspection depth.                    |
152 | `DEBUG_SHOW_HIDDEN` | Shows hidden properties on inspected objects. |
153
154
155 __Note:__ The environment variables beginning with `DEBUG_` end up being
156 converted into an Options object that gets used with `%o`/`%O` formatters.
157 See the Node.js documentation for
158 [`util.inspect()`](https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_inspect_object_options)
159 for the complete list.
160
161 ## Formatters
162
163 Debug uses [printf-style](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Printf_format_string) formatting.
164 Below are the officially supported formatters:
165
166 | Formatter | Representation |
167 |-----------|----------------|
168 | `%O`      | Pretty-print an Object on multiple lines. |
169 | `%o`      | Pretty-print an Object all on a single line. |
170 | `%s`      | String. |
171 | `%d`      | Number (both integer and float). |
172 | `%j`      | JSON. Replaced with the string '[Circular]' if the argument contains circular references. |
173 | `%%`      | Single percent sign ('%'). This does not consume an argument. |
174
175
176 ### Custom formatters
177
178 You can add custom formatters by extending the `debug.formatters` object.
179 For example, if you wanted to add support for rendering a Buffer as hex with
180 `%h`, you could do something like:
181
182 ```js
183 const createDebug = require('debug')
184 createDebug.formatters.h = (v) => {
185   return v.toString('hex')
186 }
187
188 // â€¦elsewhere
189 const debug = createDebug('foo')
190 debug('this is hex: %h', new Buffer('hello world'))
191 //   foo this is hex: 68656c6c6f20776f726c6421 +0ms
192 ```
193
194
195 ## Browser Support
196
197 You can build a browser-ready script using [browserify](https://github.com/substack/node-browserify),
198 or just use the [browserify-as-a-service](https://wzrd.in/) [build](https://wzrd.in/standalone/debug@latest),
199 if you don't want to build it yourself.
200
201 Debug's enable state is currently persisted by `localStorage`.
202 Consider the situation shown below where you have `worker:a` and `worker:b`,
203 and wish to debug both. You can enable this using `localStorage.debug`:
204
205 ```js
206 localStorage.debug = 'worker:*'
207 ```
208
209 And then refresh the page.
210
211 ```js
212 a = debug('worker:a');
213 b = debug('worker:b');
214
215 setInterval(function(){
216   a('doing some work');
217 }, 1000);
218
219 setInterval(function(){
220   b('doing some work');
221 }, 1200);
222 ```
223
224
225 ## Output streams
226
227   By default `debug` will log to stderr, however this can be configured per-namespace by overriding the `log` method:
228
229 Example [_stdout.js_](./examples/node/stdout.js):
230
231 ```js
232 var debug = require('debug');
233 var error = debug('app:error');
234
235 // by default stderr is used
236 error('goes to stderr!');
237
238 var log = debug('app:log');
239 // set this namespace to log via console.log
240 log.log = console.log.bind(console); // don't forget to bind to console!
241 log('goes to stdout');
242 error('still goes to stderr!');
243
244 // set all output to go via console.info
245 // overrides all per-namespace log settings
246 debug.log = console.info.bind(console);
247 error('now goes to stdout via console.info');
248 log('still goes to stdout, but via console.info now');
249 ```
250
251 ## Checking whether a debug target is enabled
252
253 After you've created a debug instance, you can determine whether or not it is
254 enabled by checking the `enabled` property:
255
256 ```javascript
257 const debug = require('debug')('http');
258
259 if (debug.enabled) {
260   // do stuff...
261 }
262 ```
263
264 You can also manually toggle this property to force the debug instance to be
265 enabled or disabled.
