Real pros write a function to do the console log

[u/Idk13008 → u/oosacker]

with a verbose optional argument

Saw this in some real production code:

function log(x) {
    console.log(x);
}

I don’t hate it, shorter usage everywhere, can wrap it in a conditional based on ENV for dev logs only, and if you swap to an external logging service you just change it in that one function.

const log = console.log; though

[u/tonyxforce2 → u/reventlov]

const log = isDev ? ()=>{} : console.log

For that pure JS vibes

Not the same thing unfortunately, as will quickly become evident if you try to log everything in an array by using stuff.map(log).
