shrimp-logger

shrimp is a lightweight JavaScript logging/debugging tool that provides:

• a consistent console UI accross IE8+, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari
• easy access to non-developers such as users or QA testers (just append #debug to the URL)

The problem

Internet Explorer (even IE10) developer tools do not show useful information when logging objects. For example:

The solution

When the shrimp log is opened, this is what it looks like in all supported browsers:

Install

Include shrimp.js on your page. It has no external dependencies.

• shrimp.js (~3KB, uncompressed)
• shrimp.min.js (~0.4KB, compressed and gzipped)

Usage

• shrimp.log(object) - text/object will appear in black
• shrimp.error(object) - text/object will appear in red
• shrimp.info(object) - text/object will appear in blue

shrimp will record all logs even while the console is closed. To open the console, append #debug to the URL.
