Kunsul 📝

A simple logging utility wrapper that will be ignored by build tools (vite, webpack, etc) in production by toggling the KUNSUL_IGNORE_IN_BUILD constant.

NOTE

• ESM works best in tree shaking/dead code elimination so I recommend to always use it
• when you use import it will automatically choose ESM

---

How It Works ⚙️

• In development, set KUNSUL_IGNORE_IN_BUILD = false to always show logs or dont set anything(by default it will always show logs).
• In production, set KUNSUL_IGNORE_IN_BUILD = true and build tools (like Webpack, Vite, Rollup, etc.) can eliminate logging calls during tree-shaking/minification.
• This way, you keep helpful logs while developing without shipping them into production bundles.

Installation

npm install kunsul 

or

npm install kunsul --save-dev

Usage

// for esm
// best for tree shaking/dead code elimination
globalThis.KUNSUL_IGNORE_IN_BUILD = true; // build-tools will ignore kunsul and will not include it in build-output
import kunsul from "kunsul"
kunsul.log("hello, world")




// for cjs
// although the logs wont show, the kunsul functions will still be in the build output due to cjs is not best for tree shaking in build-tools
globalThis.KUNSUL_IGNORE_IN_BUILD = true; // you can toggle this in your build tool by default kunsul shows all logs
const kunsul = require('kunsul');
kunsul.log('CommonJS log test');

Plans

• expand logging capabilities
  • fetch: fetchWithLog,
  • maybe add kunsul.prod but still debating if its usefull since you can just do console.log....
  • .......
• add more examples
