Get all the Ti.API.info strings to an array

Question

I need to get all the Ti.API.info strings to an array by using some function at the end of the app.js file, How do I get all those string to array once it has been printed on console. For Example

Ti.API.info("Hello");
Ti.API.info("Good Morning");
Ti.API.info("Good Afternoon");
Ti.API.info("Good Evening");

at the end of the code I need to have an function to retrieve and store all the strings in array. How do I can do that, Can anyone help me?

You can override the existing Ti.API.info function, but, this isn't highly recommended as people might not know that you changed it (even if changes made doesn't impact the initial behavior).

I think that the best way is to define your own logger.

customLogger.js

var Logger = function () {
    /* Define an array to store logs */   
    this._logs = [];
}

Logger.prototype.info = function () {
    /* Iterate over each msg and store them */
    for(var i = 0, msg; msg = arguments[i]; i++) {
        this._logs.push({date: new Date(), msg: msg.toString()});          
    }

    /* Do the classic log */
    Ti.API.info.apply(Ti.API, arguments);
}

Logger.prototype.getLogs = function () {
    return JSON.stringify(this._logs, null, "\t");
}

/* Export The API */
var logger = new Logger(Ti.API);
exports.info = function() {
    Logger.prototype.info.apply(logger, arguments);
};

exports.getLogs = function () {
    return Logger.prototype.getLogs.apply(logger);
};

Then, in your app.js

var Logger = require("customLogger"); // Adapt the path to suits your architecture

Logger.info("My log message");

// ...

Ti.API.debug("Those are my logs:\n", Logger.getLogs());
