Question

Is there ant way I can silence a warning message caused by a module I include?

I like the module, but every time I call their function, the console outputs:

"Utf8String" type is deprecated, use "CString" instead

I am making a console app, so would prefer to surpress this message.

In this case, there was a module required by a module I required, which had custom code which both used Utf8String and triggered an error for it.

// alias Utf8String
var utfstringwarned = false
Object.defineProperty(types, 'Utf8String', {
    enumerable: false
  , configurable: true
  , get: function () {
      if (!utfstringwarned) {
        utfstringwarned = true
        console.error('"Utf8String" type is deprecated, use "CString" instead')
      }
      return types.CString
    }
})

And wrote about it in the history

===================

 - rename the `Utf8String` type to `CString` (#5)
 - make `Utf8String` an alias to `CString` and deprecated
 - more work on docs (not yet ready)

So as a temporary solution, I might comment out the error message, or as a more permanent solution, choose a different module.
