PouchDB.debug() API as a standalone module. Provides direct access to debug which can be used for debugging PouchDB's internal operations.
This module is currently part of PouchDB core; you don't need to do anything to use it. However, in PouchDB v7.0.0 the debug() API will be moved to a separate plugin.
npm install pouchdb-debug
Then attach it to PouchDB:
var pouchdbDebug = require('pouchdb-debug'); PouchDB.plugin(pouchdbDebug);
To enable debug mode, just call:
PouchDB.debug.enable('*');
Then look in your browser console.
In Node.js, you can also set a command-line flag:
DEBUG=pouchdb:* node myscript.js
You can also enable debugging of specific modules. Currently we only have pouchb:api (API-level calls) and pouchdb:http (HTTP requests):
PouchDB.debug.enable('pouchdb:api'); // or PouchDB.debug.enable('pouchdb:http');
These settings are saved to the browser's LocalStorage. So to disable them, you must call:
PouchDB.debug.disable();
Your users won't see debug output unless you explicitly call PouchDB.debug.enable() within your application code.
