Usage

1. Add the bevy_dev_console git package.

   cargo add --git https://github.com/doonv/bevy_dev_console.git

2. Import the prelude.

   use bevy_dev_console::prelude::*;

3. Add the plugins.

   use bevy::{prelude::*, log::LogPlugin};
   use bevy_dev_console::prelude::*;
   
   App::new()
       .add_plugins((
           // Add the log plugin with the custom log layer
           DefaultPlugins.set(LogPlugin {
               custom_layer: custom_log_layer,
               ..default()
           }),
           // Add the dev console plugin itself.
           DevConsolePlugin,
       ))
       .run();

4. That should be it! You can now press the ` / ~ key on your keyboard and it should open the console!

Togglable Features

(default) builtin-parser includes the default parser. Disabling this allows you to remove the built-in parser and replace it with your own (or you could do nothing and make the console into a log reader).
