Description

VS Code extension that adjusts the visual appearance of log statements in your code by controlling their opacity and color, making them less obtrusive while coding.

Example:

Unobtrusive Logs off

Before: Standard log appearance

Unobtrusive Logs on

After: Unobtrusive logs enabled

Features

  • Customizable opacity for log statements (0-100%)
  • Configurable color for log statements
  • Creation of custom patterns for log statements
  • Support generic logs and languages specifics logs (more languages coming soon)
  • Simple commands for quick adjustments

Usage

The extension is enabled by default when you open VS Code. It will apply the configured opacity and color settings to log statements in your code.

Commands

  • unobtrusive-logs.toggle: Toggle On/Off the extension
  • unobtrusive-logs.changeOpacity: Change the opacity level of log statements
  • unobtrusive-logs.changeColor: Change the color of log statements
  • unobtrusive-logs.addCustomPattern: Add a custom pattern
  • unobtrusive-logs.deleteCustomPattern: Delete a custom pattern

Configuration

You can configure the extension in VS Code settings:

  • unobtrusive-logs.toggle: Activate or no the extension
  • unobtrusive-logs.opacity: Opacity level for logs (0 to 100, default: 50)
  • unobtrusive-logs.color: Color used for logs (default: #808080)
  • unobtrusive-logs.custom-patterns: Custom patterns ({language: string, name: string, pattern: string})

Create a custom pattern

If you want to implement your custom pattern for specific statements, you need to use the command unobtrusive-logs.addCustomPattern. Then they will ask to select a language, to name the pattern and to write the pattern formula.

Example:

// Write <console.help> in the input of the addCustomPattern command
console.help('I need help for this pattern !'); // This sentence should be find
