Add a console to "Stack Snippets" executable code on StackExchange
StackExchange, the network of Q&A sites behind StackOverflow, recently added "Stack Snippets" -- running JavaScript, CSS, and HTML code snippets. These are great, except for one problem.
I made a request for a console to be added, so that we don't have to manually open the browser console. It got some upvotes, but no official responses.
Never fear, the console is here!
Just install the script, and it'll enable simple console.log() calls from within Stack Snippets.
It uses the Web Messaging API to make the page and the snippet frame communicate. The script runs on both pages, setting up messaging between the two. Any console.log calls from the snippet are caught, and forwarded to the outer page. Don't worry, they're also logged to the regular console.
