Install

Browserify:

npm install js-mobile-console

Bower:

bower install js-mobile-console

Overview

Live demo.

It is extremely nice, that we are on the road of specifying and unifying remote debugging protocol and we can already remotely debug web applications on desktop Chrome, but what if we want to get it working also on Android browser or Safari for iOs?

MobileConsole can be embedded within any page for debugging, it will catch errors and behave exactly as native js console in browser. It also outputs all the logs you've written via an API of window.console.

How is it different from all the existing instruments?

There are already plenty of ways for testing mobile applications. The most advanced is at the moment Chrome remote debugging. Still it is available only Chrome to Chrome.

Another way is to use weinre - tool for remote debugging. It is quite nice and suggests rich functionality. Still it seems quite heavy for me. You should setup a dedicated server for it.

js-mobile-console is in contrast lightweight and requires almost no configuration, you can just include it into your page and debug it when an error appears.

stevemao also stated that it may come handy for debugging web views.

Loading

Css file should be included within html:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="./style/mobile-console.min.css">

Console may be used without any modular system:

<script src="./mobile-console.min.js"></script>

With help of browserify:

var mobileConsole = require('js-mobile-console');

Or AMD style (RequireJS):

define(['js-mobile-console'], function(mobileConsole))

Usage

Simple usage:

mobileConsole.show();

Advanced usage:

mobileConsole.options({
	showOnError: true,
	proxyConsole: false,
	isCollapsed: true,
	catchErrors: true
});

Conditional toggling:

if (condition) {
	mobileConsole.show();
} else {
	mobileConsole.hide();
}

Commands specifying:

mobileConsole.commands({
	'check': 'var a = 10; a;',
	'run': '10/5'
});

API

• show - show console with default options.
• hide - hide console.
• options - method to initialize console, by default will show console, accepts hash of options.

• proxyConsole - Default true. Determines if window.console methods are proxied to mobile console.
• isCollapsed - Default false. Determines if Console is collpased on startup.
