Console Filter is a Firefox add-on that provides a text filter to help search through JavaScript code in the browser's console. This tool aids in finding specific errors, logs, or other pieces of code within the console.
Console Filter is an invaluable tool for developers using JavaScript. It makes it much easier to locate relevant errors in the JavaScript Console, especially if you are working in strict mode. This mode can highlight every little mistake and can make it hard to find your own lapses and oversights. Console Filter is designed to remedy this problem, by giving you more control over the console, and allowing you to filter messages accordingly.
The syntax of the filter is easy to use and understand. It functions like a "Google Lite", searching for all terms entered in the console (using AND search) but will not display messages containing any terms preceded by a minus sign (NOT search). Additionally, expressions placed in quotation marks must be found in that exact order (exact phrase). Example: error -expect "declaration dropped."
Console Filter offers many convenient features. The filter textbox can be focused on easily, either by using hotkeys (Ctrl + K or Ctrl + Q) or clicking on the filter bar. The current filter and up to ten permanent filters will automatically be saved between sessions. To add one of these permanent filters, simply confirm it with the return key. To remove it, right-click on the filter name.
Overall, Console Filter is an excellent software option for developers who want more control over their console. A Firefox browser between versions 1.0 and 1.6+ is required to use this software.
