API

DomOutput

const c = require('static-console');
const DomOutput = require('static-console-plugin-dom-output');

document.addEventListener('readystatechange', () => {
    if (document.readyState == 'complete') {
        c.outputs.myLog = new DomOutput({
            rootNode: document.querySelector('main')
        });
        c.routers.std.tasks.set(c.outputs.myLog, c.models.raw);// We add task for StdRouter bundled with StaticConsole to convert messages with RawModel

        c.logt('info', `Starting log`);
    }
});

Test in any browser environment bundled with Node.js.

This code creates instance of DomOutput right after DOM is complete. c.outputs.myLog is now printing log to single element with tag name main.

Element main must contain something like <p class="message info">Starting log</p> as seen in inspector.

On line 9 we have added task to c.routers.std to convert messages with c.models.raw, and all of it is already bundled with StaticConsole.

By default static-console also has task to print with c.outputs.std. So you will have Starting log in your standard output too.

print(model)

model is the object that should have descriptive properties:

• type - message type name. If it is falsy, then DomOutput.regularType will be used to mark message as regular.
• data - string with message. It could be converted with RawModel.

rootNode

This option is required to print something. It should be that element, that is described as a "log".

messageTagName

Tag name that is used to create message node in DOM. Default: 'p';

messageAttributes

Object of attributes' names as keys and their values. String values will be parsed in such way:

• contents in square brackets gonna be removed if message type is falsy, brackets themselves are removed,
• $T will be replaced with message type name.

Default: { class: 'message[ $T]' }.

regularType

Type name that is used as fallback for falsy type (i.e. null value). Default: 'regular'.
