-\section1 Logging
+\section1 Console API
-\c console.log can be used to print debugging information to the console. For example:
+\section2 Log
+
+\c console.log, console.debug, console.warn and console.error can be used to print
+debugging information to the console. For example:
\qml
-Rectangle {
- width: 200; height: 200
- MouseArea {
- anchors.fill: parent
- onClicked: console.log("clicked")
- }
+function f(a, b) {
+ console.log("a is ", a, "b is ", b);
}
\endqml
+The output is generated using the qDebug, qWarning, qCritical methods in C++
+(see also http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/debug.html#warning-and-debugging-messages).
+
+\hint Setting the environment variable QML_CONSOLE_EXTENDED also prints the source
+code location of the call.
+
+\section2 Timer
+
\c console.time and console.timeEnd log the time (in milliseconds) that was spent between
the calls. Both take a string argument that identifies the measurement. For example:

+\section2 Trace
+
+\c console.trace prints the stack trace of JavaScript execution at the point where
+it was called. The stack trace info contains function name, file name, line number
+and column number. The stack trace is limited to last 10 stack frames.
+
+\section2 Profile
+
+\c console.profile turns on the QML and JavaScript profilers. Nested calls are not
+supported and a warning will be printed to the console.
+
+\c console.profileEnd turns off the QML and JavaScript profilers. Calling this function
+without a previous call to console.profile will print a warning to the console. A
+profiling client should have been attached before this call to receive and store the
+profiling data. For example:
+
+\qml
+function f() {
+ console.profile();
+ //Call some function that needs to be profiled.
+ //Ensure that a client is attached before ending
+ //the profiling session.
+ console.profileEnd();
+}
