cornsol

library1.1.5jsnpmunverified

Pretty console formatter for Node.js with optional line numbers, spinners, and colored output. Current stable version is 1.1.5 (2024). Provides overloads for standard console methods (log, warn, error, group, table) and adds structured helpers like array, step, chunk, and divider. Key differentiator: lightweight alternative to consola or signale with explicit sync/async variants for each operation. Ships TypeScript type definitions. Low download count (niche utility). Note: requires manual registration via corn.register() to patch global console.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

cornsol (default import)

✓ import corn from 'cornsol'

✗ const corn = require('cornsol')

Package is ESM-only. CJS require() works in Node but TypeScript may complain without esModuleInterop.

✓ import corn from 'cornsol'; corn.register();

✗ import { register } from 'cornsol'; register();

printArraySync

✓ import corn from 'cornsol'; corn.printArraySync(console.log, ['a', 'b']);

✗ import { printArraySync } from 'cornsol';

All functions are properties of the default export, not separate named exports.

cornsol (require)

✓ const corn = require('cornsol');

✗ const { printArray } = require('cornsol');

CJS destructuring works but discouraged for TypeScript users.

Shows registration, enhanced console methods, step/array usage, and direct API without registration.

import corn from 'cornsol'; // Register to patch console globally corn.register(); // Use enhanced console methods console.log('Hello, world!'); // Prefixed with line number // Sync step const result = console.step('Calculate', () => { console.log('Step 1'); return 42; }); console.log('Result:', result); // Array output console.array(['Apple', 'Banana', 'Cherry']); // Unregister to restore original console corn.unregister(); // Without registration, use explicit methods corn.printArraySync(console.log, ['X', 'Y']);

Debug

Known issues

gotchaGlobal console is modified after corn.register() — all console.log calls will have formatted output. Unregister with corn.unregister() if needed.

fix

Call corn.unregister() when done, or use explicit API (e.g., corn.print*) to avoid side effects.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaNo type augmentation for global console — TypeScript users must cast or use `console.log` directly; types for step, array, etc. are not declared on Console globally.

fix

Use corn-specific methods (e.g., corn.printStepSync) instead of console.step for type safety, or extend the Console interface manually.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaAsynchronous functions require .async suffix (e.g., console.step.async, console.array.async) — using sync methods on promises may cause unexpected behavior.

fix

Use .async variant when dealing with Promise-based operations.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaLine numbers reset after unregister/register cycle — not persistent across calls.

fix

Manage line numbering manually if cross-session consistency is required.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Uncaught TypeError: corn.register is not a function

Incorrect import style (e.g., named import instead of default).

fix

Use default import: import corn from 'cornsol' then corn.register().

Module '"cornsol"' has no exported member 'printArraySync'.

Trying to destructure functions from the package; they are properties of the default export.

fix

Use import corn from 'cornsol' and then access corn.printArraySync().

TypeError: console.step is not a function

Forgot to call corn.register() first.

fix

Call corn.register() before using console.step, or use corn.printStepSync() directly.
