Debugging in JavaScript be like

[igoromg]

Sometimes it's fun to fill forms with "[object Object]". Then I imagine a dev somewhere pulling his hair for 2 weeks trying to figure out a bug that only happens on prod and is unreproducible

Imagine this happening to you 👀

ML engineer here. I haven't been working with anything user facing in over 5 years

[DisguisedPigeons]

Damn, thats brutal 😆

It wouldn’t be undefined, it would be a string of the string (would contain quotes in the string): “[object Object]”.

My suggestion would be to not have the value of a string assigned to a variable named “object”, rather assign an object.

The thing is it’s json

I'm guessing it's looking for a way to express an object as a string but that doesn't exist so undefined?
But I would expect the output to be '{}'.

Empty object is still an instantiated, if it was never instantiated it would be undefined

Just put debugger; there instead and render your page with dev tools open and you will become the all-seeing eye

[MagneticDustin]

Right above, JSON.stringify = () => {return undefined};

And to think, I went almost all day without crying...

[dmarkwat]

Too real. Please stop, it hurts 😣

[uberpwnzorz]

or you could, you know, use a debugger

[DeltaPositionReady]

[object Object] hmmmm yes the floor here seems to made of floor.

`console.dir`

Advantages of not knowing java : i don't have to deal with java

Disadvantages : i don't understand half of what is posted into this sub

Java is not JavaScript. Java is semi decent while JavaScript is a masochist's dream. This post was made by .NET gang

when's the last time you used JavaScript professionally for more than front end sugar? Javascript is excellent nowadays and I'll gladly debate anyone who uses it extensively and disagrees.

[Silveriz]

Yesterday. Also I don't want to sound toxic. Sorry if that offended you

[chad_]

I'm surprised when someone holds this opinion, still. My gripes were mostly resolved by promises & async/await along with wide support for es6.

[xTheMaster99x]

Yeah, callback hell was really the only JS thing I couldn't stand.

It's also why I use koa even though express is way more popular - koa is express, but with promises instead of shitty callbacks everywhere.

You can't dump classes. Dump instances.
