## What it is
Consola is an elegant console logger library for Node.js and browsers that wraps console output with fancy formatting, tags, and pluggable reporters. It also supports interactive prompts, console redirection, log throttling, and mocking.

## Use cases
- pretty-print structured logs in a node cli
- replace console.log with a leveled logger
- add colored tags and icons to terminal output
- redirect console and stdout/stderr to a custom logger
- show interactive confirm and select prompts in the terminal
- log consistently in both browser and node environments

## When to choose
- you want a drop-in, fancy console logger for node or browser apps
- you need pluggable reporters or console redirection
- you want lightweight interactive prompts without a full cli framework

## When to avoid
- you need file-based or structured log shipping to external systems
- you need a full logging pipeline with log aggregation and alerting
- you only need the simplest possible console wrapper with zero dependencies

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: logging, cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, web-development
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: console-logger, typescript, reporters, prompts, unjs, command-line, nodejs
