JavaScript call trace to console.log library with some formatting config. Logs Function.prototype.call executions to console.log, with caller stack line or full caller stack, with optionally elipsized function bodies.

Autolog.js

Note: prototype hacking doesn't work well with libraries like AngularJS. If you are interested in a more compatible automatic console logging solution, take a look at noisify.

Logs Function.prototype.call executions to console.log, with caller stack line or full caller stack, with optionally elipsized function bodies.

This allows you see what is going on to a limited extent as Javascript is executed, similar to a trace log to console.

Example output in Chrome's JavaScript Console:

[object NamedNodeMap].toString ()  source: at isArrayLike (http://example.org/assets/angular.js?body=1:39:83) 
undefined.anonymous ((object)[object Attr], (number)0)  source: at forEach (http://example.org/assets/angular.js?body=1:55:20)
undefined.anonymous ((object)$compile,$parse,function ($compile, $parse) {...}, (string)"select")  source: at forEach (http://example.org/assets/angular.js?body=1:59:22)

Original direction came from this answer from HBP on StackOverflow.

Submit a pull request if you'd like to clean it up, extend it, fix it, make it available to npm/node, bower, etc.

Note: please submit any issues you have, hopefully with a corresponding PR. This library is still under development and may not work properly.

To turn on:

Autolog.on();
