Lightning Logger

A framework for enabling logging within Lightning Components.

Overview

Adding the lightingLogger component and related apex classes, extending that component to any additional components will allow a developer to toggle their console.log messages with a checkbox per user. This allows a clickable way to remove any unnecessary console.log messages for users not being used for testing/debugging purposes.

How to Use

In the Component (.cmp) file

<aura:component extends="c:lightningLogger">
    <!-- need to let the lightning logger component load first with debug status -->
    <aura:handler name="change" value="{!v.isLoaded}" action="{!c.doInit}"/>

</aura:component>

In the Controller

({
    doInit : function(component, event, helper) {
        // represents a console.log('msg') type log
        helper.log(component, 'basic log message!');

        // represents a console.log('msg', obj) type log
        helper.log(component, 'logger should console an object?', component);
    }
})

In the Helper

({
    helperMethod : function(component) {
        this.log(component, 'logging in the helper too!');
    }
})
