## Installation

with yarn

```

yarn add --dev consolemock

```

or with npm

```

npm install --save-dev consolemock

```

## API

```js

import makeConsoleMock from 'consolemock';

console = makeConsoleMock();

```

```js

console.log('a message');

console.group('a group');

console.info('maybe an object?', { a: 'str', b: false, c: [1, 2, 3], d: { a: 'b' } });

console.warn('something useful');

console.error('something unexpected');

console.group('%c a nested group with styling', 'color: #1da1f2; font-weight: bold;');

console.log('%c a nested log with styling', 'color: #D63230;');

console.groupEnd();

console.log('almost done');

console.groupEnd();

console.info('%c fin', 'font-weight: bold;');

console.debug('some debug statement');

```

### ↳ `console.history();`

```js

[

  { LOG: ['a message'] },

  { GROUP: ['a group'] },

  { _INFO: ['maybe an object?', { a: 'str', b: false, c: [1, 2, 3], d: { a: 'b' } }] },

  { _WARN: ['something useful'] },

  { _ERROR: ['something unexpected'] },

  { _GROUP: ['%c a nested group with styling', 'color: #1da1f2; font-weight: bold;'] },

  { __LOG: ['%c a nested log with styling', 'color: #D63230;'] },

  { _LOG: ['almost done'] },

  { INFO: ['%c fin', 'font-weight: bold;'] },

  { DEBUG: ['some debug statement'] }

]

```

### ↳ `console.printHistory();`

```

"LOG a message

GROUP a group

  INFO maybe an object?, {a: 'str', b: false, c: [1, 2, 3], d: {a: 'b'}}

  WARN something useful

  ERROR something unexpected

  GROUP %c a nested group with styling, color: #1da1f2; font-weight: bold;

    LOG %c a nested log with styling, color: #D63230;

  LOG almost done

INFO %c fin, font-weight: bold;

DEBUG some debug statement"

```

### ↳ `console.clearHistory()`

```js

console.log('hello');

console.log('world');

console.clearHistory();

console.log('apple');

console.history() // returns [{ LOG: ['apple'] }]

```

### ↳ `console.print(message, [message1, ..., messageN])`

Logs messages to the console when debugging. Provide `makeConsoleMock` with the

native `console` object when creating the mock:

```js

import makeConsoleMock from 'consolemock';

console = makeConsoleMock(console);

```

## Uses

### ⚡ Use `consolemock` With Snapshot Testing

The output of `printHistory` works great with

[Jest's snapshot testing](http://facebook.github.io/jest/docs/en/snapshot-testing.html#snapshot-testing-with-jest).

Create the mock console, log a few messages, then save the output of

`printHistory` as a snapshot.
