I am trying to use a console.log() created from within a node_module to display a toast on screen for the user.
I have my toasts working. I'm just not sure how to capture the log message since it is not being created from my personal code. Is this possible?
WARNING: This is extremely bad practice. It is not recommended to change the behavior of a native function especially not console.log.
That being said you can technically intercept logs by redefining the log function and then using console.info to still log things.
console.log = function(...args) {
alert("logged")
console.info(...args);
}
I recommend forking the NPM package instead and implementing your own logic.
Override the global console's log method with a method named log that you define:
var previous = console.log;
console.log = function() {
// Do whatever you need here:
// call your own function with the original arguments
yourFunction.apply(thisObj, arguments);
// do the normal console.log if you want
previous.apply(thisObj, arguments);
};
