Quickstart

Installation

There is no build step, so you can install it directly from git or the npm package at @emnudge/logpipe.

npm i -g https://github.com/EmNudge/logpipe.git
# or
npm i -g @emnudge/logpipe

Usage

$ my-program | logpipe

> server running on http://localhost:7381

Then go to the URL and inspect away!

If output is still being logged in the terminal, but not in the web ui, you may want to redirect stderr. For more info on this, read Shell Redirection.

Optional Parameters

• --port <number> or -p <number>
  • Choose a specific port (instead of random). Useful for command runners like nodemon.
• --title "<text>" or -t "<text>"
  • Title for the page. Useful if you have multiple "logpipe"s open at once.
• --help or -h
  • Display this list of commands.
• --version or -v
  • Display the current version.

Local Demo

To demo logpipe locally when you can't find an input source, you can try the included out.js file.

node out.js | node index.mjs

Optional Parameters

• --delay <number> or -d <number>
  • delay in milliseconds between each log
• --iterations <number> or -i <number>
  • number of iterations to run (default Infinity)
