Overview

The react-native-native-log library provides a seamless way to capture and display logs within React Native applications, utilizing native logging functions specific to each platform. By leveraging NSLog() on iOS and Log.i() on Android, it enables developers to easily access logs that are typically difficult to view in standard console outputs. This functionality can be particularly beneficial in end-to-end UI testing environments, where tracking logs can enhance troubleshooting and debugging processes.

This library is designed to integrate smoothly into your React Native project, making it simple for developers to ensure that native logs are accessible and actionable. Whether you're running an app for iOS or Android, getting started is straightforward with clear installation instructions and examples.

Features

  • Cross-Platform Logging: Utilizes NSLog() for iOS and Log.i() for Android, allowing for consistent logging across different platforms.

  • Enhanced Debugging: Access to native logs that aren't available in the regular Metro window, improving troubleshooting capabilities during development.

  • Simple Installation: Easy setup process with a simple command to bootstrap dependencies, making it accessible even for those new to React Native.

  • Example App Included: Comes with an example app to help users understand how to implement and utilize the logging functionality in practice.

  • E2E Testing Compatibility: Can be seamlessly integrated with E2E UI testing tools like Appium, facilitating better log tracking during automated tests.

  • MIT License: Open-source under the MIT license, which encourages community contributions and ensures flexibility for developers.

  • Active Contribution Opportunities: Encourages developers to contribute to the repository, fostering a collaborative environment for enhancements and feature requests.

React Native

React Native is a framework for building mobile applications using React and JavaScript. It enables developers to write once and deploy to multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, and the web, while providing a native app-like experience to users.

eslint
Eslint

ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.

typescript
Typescript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
