How to omit file/line number with console.log

browser, console.log, google-chrome-devtools, javascript

Solution

This is pretty simple to do. You will need to use `setTimeout` with a `console.log.bind`:

setTimeout (console.log.bind (console, "This is a sentence."));

And if you want to apply CSS or additional text to it just add add `%c` or any other `%` variable:

setTimeout (console.log.bind (console, "%cThis is a sentence.", "font-weight: bold;"));
var css = "text-decoration: underline;";
setTimeout (console.log.bind (console, "%cThis is a sentence.", css));

Note that this method will always be placed at the end of the log list. For example:

console.log ("Log 1");
setTimeout (console.log.bind (console, "This is a sentence."));
console.log ("Log 2");

will appear as

Log 1
Log 2
This is a sentence.

instead of

Log 1
This is a sentence.
Log 2

I hope this answers your question.

Problem

In the console of Chrome you can write pretty nice stuff these days. Checkout this link. I've also made a screenshot: As you can see in the screenshot too, the file name / line number (`VM298:4`) is written at the right. Is it possible the remove that, because in my case this is a very long name and more or less breaks the effect I'm trying to make in my console ?
