I’m quite old-school when it comes to debugging JavaScript applications. I usually prefer to place a simple console.log in my code instead of spinning off the debugger. Here are some tiny console.log tricks that can make your life (at least a little bit) easier:
Wrap your output
Wrapping your output gives you the object name out of the box. This might seem useless, but it makes you a bit faster while debugging:
Format big outputs
It’s sometimes useful to log the whole map without having attributes hidden in the ugly [object, object]:
Console.log in arrow functions
Have you ever been annoyed by adding a console.log in an arrow function without a function body? Did you know that you can do this?
That’s it! :)
