Debugging JavaScript applications using Glean.js
Debugging features in JavaScript can be enabled through APIs exposed on the Glean object. For more information on the available features and how to enable them, see the Debugging API reference.
Sending pings
Unlike other platforms, JavaScript doesn't expose convenience methods to send pings on demand.
In case that is necessary, calling the submit function for a given ping,
such as pings.customPing.submit(), will send it.
Note that this method is only effective for custom pings. Glean internal pings are not exposed to users.
Logging pings
By calling Glean.logPings(true) all subsequent pings sent will be logged to the console.
