Add page for console.context(name)

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 (https://github.com/whatwg/console/issues/193) and the (WIP) PR to specifiy it (https://github.com/whatwg/console/pull/244)

Browser support

At the moment console.context is available in Chrome and Node (even though logs emitted from it are not visible, see https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/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 https://github.com/whatwg/console/pull/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)

Are you willing to support this work?

No response

Start by reviewing the WHATWG Console issue #193 and the WIP specification PR #244 to establish whether console.context(name) is ready to document. Check the existing MDN console documentation structure, then add the page once its behavior and browser support are sufficiently settled; done means the API is accurately documented with the example and compatibility information.
