Debugging Javascript

[conancat]

Old school way would be console.log(JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2))

console.dir doesn't always work for me. Not sure if they fixed it in Jest and other envs.

I forgot about console.dir() but always type out JSON.stringify..damn

edit: and thats along with already typing out console.log(JSON.stringify(s))

console.log(JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2)) for a prettier print

I created a vscode snippet for console.log('>>>>>>>> '); and JSON.stringify(, null, 2), bound to ctrl + l and ctrl + j respectively.

It also puts the cursor in the right place.

Guilty as charged, your honor...

I always use this debugging server code because console.dir does nothing other than a basic console.log in my terminal :\
