A duplicate of this question came up on meta.SO where I suggested a solution, copied here:

My Temporary Hack

// sample script to generate output
[
  ["a", "b", "c"],
  function foo() {
    return "bar";
  },
  document.createElement("a"), 
  { foo: "bar" },
  false,
  "foo",
  new Date()
].forEach(function(v, i) {
  setTimeout(function() {
    console.log("i: %d, type: %s, value: %o", i, typeof v, v);
  }, 500 * i);
});

setTimeout(function(){
    throw new Error("test!");
}, 3500);

<!-- results pane console output; see http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/242491 -->
<script src="http://gh-canon.github.io/stack-snippet-console/console.min.js"></script>

Notes:

• All calls to console.log() (info(), warn(), error(), and clear()) are passed along to the actual console
• Loosely imitates Chrome's output (colors and styles excluded)
• HTMLElements will be printed as their outerHTML
• Objects are printed using JSON.stringify() with an Object.prototype.toString() failover
• Works by injecting elements into the page... so, it obviously pollutes the DOM.
• The number of entries is limited to 50 by default. You can modify this limit by calling console.config({maxEntries:25}). Older entries will be removed to make room for newer entries.
• Logs unhandled errors.

A Real Solution

So, what I'd really like to see is something which:

1. Is truly integrated, i.e.: doesn't link to my external script
2. Keeps the console's DOM separate from the snippet's DOM
3. Allows the author to opt in or out of the console wrapper

If we nest the snippet another frame down we can keep the console DOM separate from the snippet.

Page
 ┕ Console Frame
   ┕ Snippet Frame

Here's a demo. Click the button to log some mouse events.

The console page must have access to the snippet's window before we can overwrite the snippet's console. So, you'll need to inject the following into the snippet (as early as possible) in order to intercept subsequent calls to console.log():

<script>window.parent.attachConsole();</script>

Opting in/out?

<!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true -->

That could also control whether or not we need to nest the snippet in a containing frame for the console.
