Discussion on: Remove all console.log() from your project in less than a minute

[Ayc0]

That's cool!
But this has a few issues:

• it won't work with multi line console.log,
• it won't work if you have something else in the same line after the console,
• it won't work with if you do something like const fn = console.log (I mean it will remove the console, but the expression will become wrong).

I'd recommend instead using AST based tools like a webpack plugin, or a eslint custom rule, to detect a CallExpression with the callee being a MemberExpression with the object being console and the property log.

Thanks @ayc0
For multiline you need to use console\.log\(([^)]+)\);

this is helpful

[Md Adil]

it only selected the console.log which are commented not uncommented ones

[Ayc0]

It still won't work for code snippet like those:

console.log(
  'hello',
   world(1)
)

(As it contains a closing parenthesis)

[wimdenherder]

console\.log\((.|\n)*?\);?

It matches anything until it encounters ) again, with an optional whitespace and ;
