Configuration

Search for hiasConsoleLog in VSCode settings, or edit settings.json directly:

{
  // Enable the extension
  "hiasConsoleLog.enable": true,

  // console.log argument template
  "hiasConsoleLog.template": "${value}, `${name}`",

  // Copy extracted content to clipboard after insertion
  "hiasConsoleLog.copyToClipboard": false,

  // Clipboard extraction pattern
  "hiasConsoleLog.clipboardPattern": ""
}

hiasConsoleLog.enable

• Type: boolean
• Default: true

Master switch. When disabled, all commands are no-ops.

hiasConsoleLog.template

• Type: string
• Default: ${value}, \${name}``

The console.log argument template that shapes the inserted statement.

Variables

Variable	Description
${value}	The selected text
${name}	The original text (used as a label)
${name:prefix,suffix}	Original text with prefix/suffix, e.g. ${name:log_,} → log_obj

Snippet Syntax

VSCode snippet syntax controls the cursor after insertion:

Syntax	Description
$1, $2	Tab stops, visited in order
${1:placeholder}	Tab stop with placeholder text
$0	Final cursor position

TIP

A trailing $0 is automatically moved after the closing ), so the cursor ends up at the end of the statement instead of inside the parentheses.

Examples

Template	Result (selecting obj)
${value}, \${name}``	console.log(obj, \obj`)`
'>>> ${name}', ${value}	console.log('>>> obj', obj)
${value}, \${name:log_,}``	console.log(obj, \log_obj`)`
${value}$1, \${name}`$0`	Same as default, cursor stops at $1

hiasConsoleLog.copyToClipboard

• Type: boolean
• Default: false

Whether to extract content via clipboardPattern and copy it to the clipboard after insertion.

hiasConsoleLog.clipboardPattern

• Type: string
• Default: "" (no copy)

Clipboard extraction pattern. Uses the same variable syntax as template, plus:

Variable	Description
${line}	The full console.log statement

Example

"hiasConsoleLog.enable": true,
"hiasConsoleLog.template": "${value}$1, `${name:log_,}`$0",
"hiasConsoleLog.copyToClipboard": true,
"hiasConsoleLog.clipboardPattern": "${name:log_,}"

Selecting params copies log_params to the clipboard.
