Console.trace in JavaScript

In yesterday's article, I showed you two ways to format your output to the console in JavaScript. If you have not read it, check it out here.

Today I wanted to show you another console command: console.trace().

console.trace()

The console.trace() method outputs a stack trace to the Web console.

Here is an example of how to use this:

function foo() {
  function bar() {
    console.trace();
  }
  bar();
}

foo();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In the console, the following trace will be displayed:

bar
foo
<anonymous>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
