How do setLogger and getLogger functions work?

If you want to customize the log of tsParticles you can call setLogger(logger) function, passing a ILogger object.

The setLogger function prevents undefined properties assigning the default one.

setLogger({
    debug: console.debug,
    error: console.error,
    info: console.info,
    log: console.log,
    verbose: console.log,
    warning: console.warn,
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This assigns all the log functions console functions, but you can use empty functions (() => {}) to disable every function.

If there's a console.log left like in #3552, #3528 or #5003, you can disable the log property of the setLogger parameter to get rid of it, so you don't have to wait the next release.

The getLogger function, returns the object set using setLogger, every plugin MUST use getLogger() for logging things, so mistakes can be fixed easily, even errors can be muted or redirected to your favorite logging platform.

If you want to log something use this code:

getLogger().log("tsParticles is awesome");
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
