The output from this library pollutes the output of consuming applications with unstructured log lines, as well as pollutes the console output for web/browser based applications.
Possible alternatives to using console.log directly would be to either use the (1) debug module, (2) allow the consumer to provide a logger that satisfies a contract when creating a client instance, (3) or to add conditionals around each log line to only log debug messaging if a certain ENV variable or other condition is met.
For what its worth, I believe (2) would likely be the best solution as this would allow for consumers to provide their own logger implementation and prefer structured logging if they choose.
