"no-console" Rule

[Mark Steel]

Is there any reason there is no "no-console" rule in the js standard ruleset? Is there a way to add our own custom rule for this particular case? It would help reduce some annoyance in thinkos where developers leave them in the code.

Thank you.

It is there set off by default.

You can override rules by adding "rules" to your .eslintrc file:

{
  "extends": "standard",
  "rules": {
    "no-console": "off"
  }
}

Oh, I just realized this issue makes no sense! We don't enable no-console, as @begueradj pointed out :)

They were asking for us to add it ☺️

I personally prefer not to since there are plenty of valid use cases for console.log other than sprinkling them temporary to debug things...

console is an output side effect. Happens to be the one that is used for debugging, as well. We can't really tell whether it's for debugging...

Sheesh, I need to read more slowly!
