🌟 cl-print - Log with Filename & Line Number

cl-print is a lightweight and powerful npm package that enhances your console logging by automatically adding filename and line number to each log statement. With this package, debugging becomes a breeze as you can immediately see where your logs are coming from.

🚀 Features

• ✨ Automatically prepends the filename and line number to every console.log statement.
• 🎯 No manual effort required to track logs.
• 🛠️ Works out of the box, just replace console.log with clPrint.
• 🧑‍💻 Helps in debugging by providing clear and concise context.

📦 Installation

You can easily install cl-print via npm:

npm install cl-print

🖥️ Usage

Once installed, just require or import the package and use it like you would use console.log.

Example

const cl = require('cl-print');

cl('Hello, World!'); 
// Output: [xyz.js:15] Hello, World!

In this example, the log message will display the filename (xyz.js) and the line number (15), showing exactly where the log was made.

💡 Sample Output

Suppose you have a file app.js with the following code:

const cl = require('cl-print');

function greet() {
  cl('Hello, this is a test log!');
}

greet();

The output in your console will look like:

[app.js:4] Hello, this is a test log!

As you can see, it includes the filename (app.js) and the line number (4), making it incredibly easy to track the source of your log.

🔥 Why Choose cl-print?

• Instant Context: Get a clear picture of where your logs are being triggered without any extra effort.
• Simplified Debugging: No more guessing or searching for log statements — it's all right there.
• Zero Configuration: Just install and use it like console.log, and you're good to go.
• Perfect for Teams: Everyone on the team can easily identify log origins, which improves collaboration and productivity.

🎉 Quick Start

const clPrint = require('cl-print');

// Using it like console.log, but with filename and line number
cl('This is a log with context!');

Output:

[app.js:10] This is a log with context!
