Frequently Asked Questions

What does debug do?

Debug is a lightweight JavaScript utility based on Node.js core's debugging technique. It is designed for both Node.js and web browsers. This versatile tool is ideal for developers seeking to add debug statements to their module and toggle the output of these statements as needed. This feature can greatly aid in identifying and rectifying errors within a module or its various parts.

How do you use debug?

To start using debug, you need to first install it into your project. This can be done using NPM (Node Package Manager) with the command npm install debug. Once installed, debug can be imported into your JavaScript file with var debug = require('debug')('http'), where 'http' is the name of your module. Debug then returns a decorated version of console.error for you to pass debug statements to. Here is an example of how you can use debug in a node.js application:

var debug = require('debug')('http')
, http = require('http')
, name = 'My App';

// fake app

debug('booting %o', name);

http.createServer(function(req, res){
  debug(req.method + ' ' + req.url);
  res.end('hello\n');
}).listen(3000, function(){
  debug('listening');
});

// fake worker of some kind

require('./worker');

In this example, debug('booting %o', name) is equivalent to a console.log()-like statement which will only be displayed when the debug is enabled.

Where are the debug docs?

The documentation for debug can be found within their Github repository at git://github.com/debug-js/debug.git. The readme file within the repository is richly detailed and provides comprehensive guidance on how to install, configure and use the debug utility effectively. It encompasses everything from basic usage to more advanced features like namespace colors, wildcard usage, custom formatters, and environment variables. Developers seeking to make the most of this debug utility would greatly benefit from a thorough perusal of the readme.
