I finally published my first addon, and it hit the asset library today!

Log.pr(...) and Log.prn(...) are intended as drop-in replacements for print(...):

• colorizes the output data based on type
• recursively prints dictionaries and arrays
  • (with a sane max count, i.e. not printing 1000 entries in an array)
• adds a script-name prefix and line-number before each log
  • with different treatment for [src:12]: vs <addons:12>: vs {test:12}: scripts

For me this helps reduce wall-of-text noise and eye strain while reading logs at a glance.

I created a docs site via docsify, and the code is on github.

I’ll be adding support for more types and customizing the color choices soon. You can opt-in to pretty-printing with your own objects by implementing a to_printable() function. I’m brainstorming ways to add support for not-your custom types as well (for example, Pandora Entities) - I have a few ideas but nothing implemented yet.

I’ve been using it in my own projects for a few months now, so it feels ready to share - I’m hopeful that others find it useful!

Try it out, let me know what you think!
