Add page for console.context(name)

[nchevobbe]

Proposal

console.context(label) returns a new object with a lot of the console members. Messages emitted from calling the method from this created object can carry the context name, which can be used to categorize/filter them more easily.

---

Example:

const logger = console.context("myLogger");
logger.log("Hello");
logger.info("World");

With the example above, in Chrome you can use context:myLogger in the filter input to only display messages emitted from the logger object.

See the whatwg issue (whatwg/console#193) and the (WIP) PR to specifiy it (whatwg/console#244)

Browser support

At the moment console.context is available in Chrome and Node (even though logs emitted from it are not visible, see nodejs/node#56634), and is currently being implemented in Firefox (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1948870)

Tasks

• [ ]

Dependencies

• Maybe we need to wait for Specify console.context whatwg/console#244 to be merged? Not sure, because MDN seems to also document non standard methods (e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/console/profile_static)
