My Advance Debugger

What do you think of my advance debugger?

Example Script 
local Debugger = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Library.Debugger).new(script.Name);
--== Configuration;

--== Variables;
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
local rootPart = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart"); -- StarterCharacterScript

local printTable = {Name="Creator"; Message="What do you think?"};
	
--== Script;
Debugger:Log("Debugger is running!", "MessageTable:", printTable);
Debugger:Warn("Warning message!")

Debugger.Disabled = true;

while wait(0.1) do
	Debugger:Display({Position=tostring(rootPart.Position); Why="Useful for logging changing values."});
end
Debugger:Log(Tuple params) and Debugger:Warn(Tuple params)

bool Debugger.Disabled

Setting Debugger.Disabled to true will disable all logging and warnings for that script.

Debugger:Display(table t)

Nil values will not display. Currently Debugger:Display uses JSONEncode to display the table, any unsupported values should be converted to string first or else it will become nil.

Feel free to use it if you think it may be useful. It’s open source.

This might belong more in community resources.

Debugger seems a bit unlike what it actually does if it displays a few data types in a convenient manner. When you call it debugger I expected it to actually work with error handling, an overview of the current environment and perhaps stepping through code or similar functionality.

Oh, guess I may be naming it wrongly. Maybe… advance logger?

Not sure, since I might plan to add a Ray cast, Region3 visualizer.

I agree that it’s actually surprisingly difficult to come up with a good name. I’d say something along the lines of ‘visual logger’ or similar, to emphasize how it visualises things that normally would be difficult to capture in text.

Looks like :Display() broke.

Yes, it was caused by not requiring the module on both server and client since it waits for a remote created on the server to send debugger data to the client.

Should be fixed now.
