better Browser Support without refresh the page

[mydearxym]

hi there ~

in the doc:

Debug's enable state is currently persisted by localStorage. Consider the situation shown below where you have worker:a and worker:b, and wish to debug both. You can enable this using localStorage.debug:
localStorage.debug = 'worker:*'
And then refresh the page.

is there a way to not refresh the page and make it work ?

The reason for this seems to be because it's just coded that way. You can see here that the load() method that reads the local storage only gets called when the debug object is created. We could listen for the storage event to know when to update the state.

It seems like implementing this would lead to huge breaking changes with the current way debug is coded. To be able to change the namespaces for debug instances live you'd need to somehow expose this method to browser.js.

What you could do is listen to the storage event yourself and just recreate your debug instances this way they would re-read the localStorage.

@mydearxym the debug module exposes an enable method. So you could dynamically enable/ disable things by doing:

localStorage.debug = '';

const debug = require('debug');
const log = debug('MyApplication:log');

log('blah');  // not logged

debug.enable('*');

log('blah'); // logged
