# cordova-plugin-console
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()`.
