# cordova-plugin-console

## Deprecated

> This plugin is no longer being worked on as the functionality provided by this plugin is now included in cordova-ios 4.5.0 or greater, and support is already built in to cordova-windows > 5.0.0. You should remove this plugin from your applications.

 

> Please file issues for this plugin against their respective platforms (cordova-ios, cordova-windows).

## Description

This plugin is meant to ensure that console.log() is as useful as it can be.

It adds additional function for iOS, Ubuntu, Windows Phone 8, and Windows. If

you are happy with how console.log() works for you, then you probably

don't need this plugin.

This plugin defines a global `console` object.

Although the object is in the global scope, features provided by this plugin

are not available until after the `deviceready` event.

    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

    function onDeviceReady() {

        console.log("console.log works well");

    }

## Installation

    cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-console

### Android Quirks

On some platforms other than Android, console.log() will act on multiple

arguments, such as console.log("1", "2", "3"). However, Android will act only

on the first argument. Subsequent arguments to console.log() will be ignored.

This plugin is not the cause of that, it is a limitation of Android itself.

## Supported Methods

The plugin support following methods of the `console` object:

- `console.log`

- `console.error`

- `console.exception`

- `console.warn`

- `console.info`

- `console.debug`

- `console.assert`

- `console.dir`

- `console.dirxml`

- `console.time`

- `console.timeEnd`

- `console.table`

## Partially supported Methods

Methods of the `console` object which implemented, but behave different from browser implementation:

- `console.group`

- `console.groupCollapsed`

The grouping methods are just log name of the group and don't actually indicate grouping for later

calls to `console` object methods.

## Not supported Methods

Methods of the `console` object which are implemented, but do nothing:

- `console.clear`

- `console.trace`

- `console.groupEnd`

- `console.timeStamp`

- `console.profile`

- `console.profileEnd`

- `console.count`

## Supported formatting

The following formatting options available:

Format chars:

*  `%j` - format arg as JSON

*  `%o` - format arg as JSON

*  `%c` - format arg as `''`. No color formatting could be done.

*  `%%` - replace with `'%'`

Any other char following `%` will format its arg via `toString()`.
