Global console.log turned off

Hey
When I am done with a larger project I would like to add the below line in Page Code or even in Site Code that would turn all console.log functions off. This would be a huge time saver and also when going back to a page I want to work with activate that on that page.

Turning it off

wixCore.console(false);

Turning it on

wixCore.console(true);

Hi Andreas,

You can achieve something similar today with creating your own log function you can turn on/off.
Example:

// public/logger.js file

let isLoggingEnabled = true;

export function log(message) {
  if (isLoggingEnabled) {
    console.log(message);
  }
}


// some page code

import {log} from 'public/logger'

$w.onReady(function () {
  log("hello")
});

Hi Tomer, like the solution.

I haven’t tested it, but I believe the issue with this way is we lose the stack trace that tells us what line it was logging from. Is there a way to get that back?

@chris-derrell That’s a good point!
In our developer console we do not show the full stack trace yet.
But - in the browser developer tools you will still see the full stack trace and see the origin of the call - instead of it being the top frame, it will probably be one frame below in the stack.
