• Why write a library?
  4 projects | dev.to | 2 May 2024

  Number of dependencies: one way to tell if a library is not too challenging to be used as study source is based on the production dependencies count. The fewer the better. For example, I chose debug because it only has 1 dependency (ms), while the rest of the code relies on core NodeJS modules - which is exactly what I was looking for - to learn how to build a library from scratch, not off the shelf libraries with many external deps, which in turn are based on more deps. There you go, dependency hell.

• Conditional logging
  1 project | dev.to | 10 Jan 2024

  Another way to solve this is to have the logs in place, but only enable them conditionally. If you enable all the logs are the time, you only get a lot of noise that won't help you. If you are using JavaScript, you can use the package debug to add logs that are active by the DEBUG environment variable.

• Has anyone figured out how to enable the millisecond diff feature in the debug package?
  1 project | /r/node | 16 Aug 2023

  I'm using the debug package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug, but some reason I don't see millisecond diffs, which would be really useful.

• What is the DEBUG 🐛 environment variable in Node.js, and how to use it?
  1 project | dev.to | 4 Apr 2023

  Although it's used by Express, it's indeed more broadly, the way a popular NPM package called debug works, which is used internally in Express too. Under the hood, the debug package expects the DEBUG environment variable to determine what debug messages to print (could be on the console, or into a file, or into stdout to be collected by a log aggregator service).

• Automating console logs for dev but removing for prod?
  1 project | /r/webdev | 8 Mar 2023

  Finally, if they're logs you want to be able to inspect in production without printing them to the console by default, you can use debug.

• After having used many loggers/debuggers...
  3 projects | /r/typescript | 11 Feb 2023

  It is a drop-in, TypeScript replacement to enhance the widely popular https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug (230k weekly downloads).

• Create a Node.js command-line library with NRWL NX workspace
  6 projects | dev.to | 8 Jan 2023

  debug - npm - Required. A popular library to write debug logs.

• Debugging Figma and other packaged Electron apps in Visual Studio Code
  2 projects | dev.to | 8 Jan 2023

  I strongly recommend using the debug package from NPM to organize your log messages

• Is it bad practice to log within a shared library?
  1 project | /r/node | 23 Aug 2022

  Use the [debug npm library](https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug) to disable your logging unless someone provides the right environment variable (e.g. DEBUG=* which enables all logging)
