While each Modus SDK offers similar capabilities, the APIs and usage may vary between languages.

Modus Console APIs documentation is available on the following pages:

The Modus Console APIs allow you to capture information from your functions, such as errors and other information that can help you debug your functions.

In addition to the Console APIs, you can also use any standard Go function that emits output to stdout or stderr. The output from these functions are available in the runtime logs.

For example, you may use:

  • fmt.Println to write to informational messages to the logs
  • fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, ...) to write error messages to the logs

You may also return error objects from your function, whose messages get captured and returned in the GraphQL response.

​
Import

To begin, import the console package from the SDK:

import "github.com/hypermodeinc/modus/sdk/go/pkg/console"

​
Console APIs

The APIs in the console package are below, organized by category.

We’re constantly introducing new APIs through ongoing development with early users. Please open an issue if you have ideas on what would make Modus even more powerful for your next app!

​
Assertion Functions
