Stub of console in TypeScript:

if (!window.console) {
console = {
    assert: () => { },
    clear: () => { },
    count: () => { },
    debug: () => { },
    dir: () => { },
    dirxml: () => { },
    error: () => { },
    group: () => { },
    groupCollapsed: () => { },
    groupEnd: () => { },
    info: () => { },
    log: () => { },
    msIsIndependentlyComposed: (e: Element) => false,
    profile: () => { },
    profileEnd: () => { },
    select: () => { },
    time: () => { },
    timeEnd: () => { },
    trace: () => { },
    warn: () => { },
    }
};
