React Native Console View

No longer do you need to connect your android device to your computer and use adb logcat | grep "search term" or fire up xcode just to debug your app. Now you can view all those log messages within your app. Great for non-technical users such as QA to make sure something is happening in the background.

Usage: App.tsx

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { ConsoleView, initConsoleView } from 'react-native-console-view';

export default class App extends Component<AppProps> {
    constructor(props: AppProps) {
        super(props);
    }
    componentWillMount() {
        initConsoleView();
    }
    render {
        return (
            <Provider store={store}>
                ... app stuff ...
                <ConsoleView enabled={true} breakpoint="mobile" />
            </Provider>
        );
    }
}

From then on

import { console } from 'react-native-console-view'; // or for backwards compatibility, you can use `consoleView`
console.log('big alert', 'lots of details');

Just like your favorite JavaScript console, this supports:

• console.[log|warn|error](label, message, style?)
• console.[time|timeEnd](label, style?)
• console.logOnChange(label, message, style?) - logs when message is different or new, otherwise logs a semi-transparent "no change" statement

On Screen Features:

• Show and hide the console
• Toggle the console's action bar to be fixed to the top or bottom of the screen
• Toggle between scrolling the log's contents or touching through the log window and scrolling the app's screen
• Copying the log to the clipboard for sharing
• Clear the log history

Examples

console.log('User Logged In'); // displays `User Logged In:` in a white font

console.log('Push Notification - Processed', message); // displays `Push Notification - Processed:` and pretty prints {message} in a white font

console.log('Analytics', {name: 'navigation', link: '/home'}, {color: '#FFFF00'}); // displays `Response: invalid data` in a red font

console.logOnChange('Location Updated', {lat: 1, lon: 2}); // displays `Location Updated: {lat: 1, lon: 2}` in a pretty printed format
console.logOnChange('Location Updated', {lat: 1, lon: 1}); // displays `Location Updated:  no change` in a slightly transparent font
console.logOnChange('Location Updated', {lat: 8, lon: 9}); // displays `Location Updated: {lat: 8, lon: 9}` in a pretty printed format
console.logOnChange('Location Updated', {lat: 8, lon: 9}); // displays `Location Updated: no change` in a slightly transparent font

console.error('Response', 'invalid data'); // displays `Response: invalid data` in a red font
