mute

Politely tells one or more streams to shut the heck up for a moment by temporarily reassigning their write methods. Useful when testing noisey modules which lack verbosity options. Mutes stdout and stderr by default.

Install

$ npm install --save mute

Usage

var mute = require('mute');
 
// Mute stdout and stderr
var unmute = mute();
 
console.log('foo');   // doesn't print 'foo'
console.error('bar'); // doesn't print 'bar'
 
unmute();
 
console.log('foo');   // prints 'foo'
console.error('bar'); // prints 'bar'
 
// Mute just stderr
var unmuteErr = mute(process.stderr);
 
console.log('foo');   // prints 'foo'
console.error('bar'); // doesn't print 'bar'
 
unmuteErr();
 
console.log('foo');   // prints 'foo'
console.error('bar'); // prints 'bar'

API
