A tiny JavaScript debugging utility modelled after Node.js core's debugging technique. Works in Node.js and web browsers.

Installation

bash
$ npm install debug

Usage

debug exposes a function; simply pass this function the name of your module, and it will return a decorated version of console.error for you to pass debug statements to. This will allow you to toggle the debug output for different parts of your module as well as the module as a whole.

Example [_app.js_](./examples/node/app.js):

js
var debug = require('debug')('http')
  , http = require('http')
  , name = 'My App';

// fake app

debug('booting %o', name);

http.createServer(function(req, res){
  debug(req.method + ' ' + req.url);
  res.end('hello\n');
}).listen(3000, function(){
  debug('listening');
});

// fake worker of some kind

require('./worker');

Example [_worker.js_](./examples/node/worker.js):

js
var a = require('debug')('worker:a')
  , b = require('debug')('worker:b');

function work() {
  a('doing lots of uninteresting work');
  setTimeout(work, Math.random() * 1000);
}

work();

function workb() {
  b('doing some work');
  setTimeout(workb, Math.random() * 2000);
}

workb();

The DEBUG environment variable is then used to enable these based on space or comma-delimited names.

Here are some examples:

Windows command prompt notes

CMD

On Windows the environment variable is set using the set command.

cmd
set DEBUG=*,-not_this

Example:

cmd
set DEBUG=* & node app.js

PowerShell (VS Code default)

PowerShell uses different syntax to set environment variables.

cmd
$env:DEBUG = "*,-not_this"

Example:

cmd
$env:DEBUG='app';node app.js

Then, run the program to be debugged as usual.

npm script example:

js
  "windowsDebug": "@powershell -Command $env:DEBUG='*';node app.js",

Namespace Colors

Every debug instance has a color generated for it based on its namespace name. This helps when visually parsing the debug output to identify which debug instance a debug line belongs to.

Node.js

In Node.js, colors are enabled when stderr is a TTY. You also _should_ install the [supports-color](https://npmjs.org/supports-color) module alongside debug, otherwise debug will only use a small handful of basic colors.

Web Browser

Colors are also enabled on "Web Inspectors" that understand the %c formatting option. These are WebKit web inspectors, Firefox (since version 31) and the Firebug plugin for Firefox (any version).

Millisecond diff

When actively developing an application it can be useful to see when the time spent between one debug() call and the next. Suppose for example you invoke debug() before requesting a resource, and after as well, the "+NNNms" will show you how much time was spent between calls.

When stdout is not a TTY, Date#toISOString() is used, making it more useful for logging the debug information as shown below:

Conventions

If you're using this in one or more of your libraries, you _should_ use the name of your library so that developers may toggle debugging as desired without guessing names. If you have more than one debuggers you _should_ prefix them with your library name and use ":" to separate features. For example "bodyParser" from Connect would then be "connect:bodyParser". If you append a "*" to the end of your name, it will always be enabled regardless of the setting of the DEBUG environment variable. You can then use it for normal output as well as debug output.

Wildcards

The * character may be used as a wildcard. Suppose for example your library has debuggers named "connect:bodyParser", "connect:compress", "connect:session", instead of listing all three with DEBUG=connect:bodyParser,connect:compress,connect:session, you may simply do DEBUG=connect:*, or to run everything using this module simply use DEBUG=*.

You can also exclude specific debuggers by prefixing them with a "-" character. For example, DEBUG=*,-connect:* would include all debuggers except those starting with "connect:".

Environment Variables

When running through Node.js, you can set a few environment variables that will change the behavior of the debug logging:

Name	Purpose
`DEBUG`	Enables/disables specific debugging namespaces.
`DEBUG_HIDE_DATE`	Hide date from debug output (non-TTY).
`DEBUG_COLORS`	Whether or not to use colors in the debug output.
`DEBUG_DEPTH`	Object inspection depth.
`DEBUG_SHOW_HIDDEN`	Shows hidden properties on inspected objects.

Note: The environment variables beginning with DEBUG_ end up being converted into an Options object that gets used with %o/%O formatters. See the Node.js documentation for [util.inspect()](https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_inspect_object_options) for the complete list.

Formatters

Debug uses printf-style formatting. Below are the officially supported formatters:

Formatter	Representation
`%O`	Pretty-print an Object on multiple lines.
`%o`	Pretty-print an Object all on a single line.
`%s`	String.
`%d`	Number (both integer and float).
`%j`	JSON. Replaced with the string '[Circular]' if the argument contains circular references.
`%%`	Single percent sign ('%'). This does not consume an argument.

Custom formatters

You can add custom formatters by extending the debug.formatters object. For example, if you wanted to add support for rendering a Buffer as hex with %h, you could do something like:

js
const createDebug = require('debug')
createDebug.formatters.h = (v) => {
  return v.toString('hex')
}

// …elsewhere
const debug = createDebug('foo')
debug('this is hex: %h', new Buffer('hello world'))
//   foo this is hex: 68656c6c6f20776f726c6421 +0ms

Browser Support

You can build a browser-ready script using browserify, or just use the browserify-as-a-service build, if you don't want to build it yourself.

Debug's enable state is currently persisted by localStorage. Consider the situation shown below where you have worker:a and worker:b, and wish to debug both. You can enable this using localStorage.debug:

js
localStorage.debug = 'worker:*'

And then refresh the page.

js
a = debug('worker:a');
b = debug('worker:b');

setInterval(function(){
  a('doing some work');
}, 1000);

setInterval(function(){
  b('doing some work');
}, 1200);

In Chromium-based web browsers (e.g. Brave, Chrome, and Electron), the JavaScript console will—by default—only show messages logged by debug if the "Verbose" log level is _enabled_.

Output streams

By default `debug` will log to stderr, however this can be configured per-namespace by overriding the `log` method:

Example [_stdout.js_](./examples/node/stdout.js):

js
var debug = require('debug');
var error = debug('app:error');

// by default stderr is used
error('goes to stderr!');

var log = debug('app:log');
// set this namespace to log via console.log
log.log = console.log.bind(console); // don't forget to bind to console!
log('goes to stdout');
error('still goes to stderr!');

// set all output to go via console.info
// overrides all per-namespace log settings
debug.log = console.info.bind(console);
error('now goes to stdout via console.info');
log('still goes to stdout, but via console.info now');

Extend

You can simply extend debugger

js
const log = require('debug')('auth');

//creates new debug instance with extended namespace
const logSign = log.extend('sign');
const logLogin = log.extend('login');

log('hello'); // auth hello
logSign('hello'); //auth:sign hello
logLogin('hello'); //auth:login hello

Set dynamically

You can also enable debug dynamically by calling the enable() method :

js
let debug = require('debug');

console.log(1, debug.enabled('test'));

debug.enable('test');
console.log(2, debug.enabled('test'));

debug.disable();
console.log(3, debug.enabled('test'));

print :

1 false
2 true
3 false

Usage : enable(namespaces) namespaces can include modes separated by a colon and wildcards.

Note that calling enable() completely overrides previously set DEBUG variable :

$ DEBUG=foo node -e 'var dbg = require("debug"); dbg.enable("bar"); console.log(dbg.enabled("foo"))'
=> false

disable()

Will disable all namespaces. The functions returns the namespaces currently enabled (and skipped). This can be useful if you want to disable debugging temporarily without knowing what was enabled to begin with.

For example:

js
let debug = require('debug');
debug.enable('foo:*,-foo:bar');
let namespaces = debug.disable();
debug.enable(namespaces);

Note: There is no guarantee that the string will be identical to the initial enable string, but semantically they will be identical.

Checking whether a debug target is enabled

After you've created a debug instance, you can determine whether or not it is enabled by checking the enabled property:

javascript
const debug = require('debug')('http');

if (debug.enabled) {
  // do stuff...
}

You can also manually toggle this property to force the debug instance to be enabled or disabled.

Usage in child processes

Due to the way debug detects if the output is a TTY or not, colors are not shown in child processes when stderr is piped. A solution is to pass the DEBUG_COLORS=1 environment variable to the child process. For example:

javascript
worker = fork(WORKER_WRAP_PATH, [workerPath], {
  stdio: [
    /* stdin: */ 0,
    /* stdout: */ 'pipe',
    /* stderr: */ 'pipe',
    'ipc',
  ],
  env: Object.assign({}, process.env, {
    DEBUG_COLORS: 1 // without this settings, colors won't be shown
  }),
});

worker.stderr.pipe(process.stderr, { end: false });
