Debugging

Enable Debugging logs

2. Refresh Browser window

Debug Snippets

Get the latest 5 messages for the current conversation from the database:

wire.app.repository.storage.storageService.db['events'].toArray(records => {
  const messages = records.filter(events => events.conversation === wire.app.repository.conversation.active_conversation().id);
  console.log(messages.slice(-5).reverse());
});

Note: Latest message is at array index 0.

Link Previews

Since link previews cannot be generated directly in the webapp (due to CORS constraints), we have a way to generate fake link previews when a message with a link is send.

To enable this behavior, in the console, run

wire.app.util.debug.enableLinkPreviews()

The next message you are going to send (that contains a URL), will generate a fake link preview.
