Node.js – util.debuglog() Method
The util.debuglog() method creates a function that can be used to write the desired error/debug messages to stderr. These error messages are written only upon the existence of the NODE_DEBUG environment variable.
Syntax
util.debuglog(section, [callback])
Parameters
The parameters are described below −
section − This parameter takes the portion of the application for which the debug log is being created.
callback − This is the callback function which will receive the pointer if any error occurs during the execution of method.
Example 1
Create a file with the name "debuglog.js" and copy the following code snippet -
// util.debuglog() demo example // Importing the util module const util = require('util'); const debugLog = util.debuglog('application#1'); // Use debuglog() method debugLog('Welcome to Tutorials Point'); let debug = util.debuglog('application#2', (debuging) => { // Replace with a logging function // that optimizes out a = "new Value"; // Testing if the section is enabled debug = debuging; }); // prints the debuglog function console.log(util.inspect(debug, showHidden = true, compact = true)); // logs app * debug(); debug('Hello User #[%d]', 2);
Use this following command to run the above application in debug mode -
NODE_DEBUG=application* node debuglog.js
Output
C:\home
ode>> NODE_DEBUG=application* node debuglog.js APPLICATION#1 337356: Welcome to Tutorials Point { [Function: debug] [length]: 0, [name]: 'debug', [prototype]: debug { [constructor]: [Circular] } } APPLICATION#2 337356: APPLICATION#2 337356: Hello User #[2]
Example 2
Let’s have a look at one more example -
// util.debuglog() demo example // Importing the util module const util = require('util'); const debuglog = util.debuglog('application'); debuglog('Hello [%s], - From Tutorials Point', 'user'); const generalLog = util.debuglog('app-'); const timerLog = util.debuglog('appl'); const delay = 200; // Printing the log for 'app-' generalLog('Exiting app-'); console.log("Waiting for Timer Log to get executed") // Timer will run after 200 ms setTimeout(() => { timerLog('Timer is fired after %d ', delay); }, delay);
Output
C:\home
ode>> NODE_DEBUG=application* node debuglog.js APPLICATION 338111: Hello [user], - From Tutorials Point APP- 338111: Exiting appWaiting for Timer Log to get executed APPL 338111: Timer is fired after 200
