Tips to save time writing console.log() in JavaScript

console.log() is of great help for debugging Javascript code .
But writing them is time consuming. You can save time by following these two tricks:

1. Enclose variables in curly braces :

   console.log({input}) instead of console.log(“input”,input)

2. Create a global variable and assign console.log() function to it . Use that variable instead of console.log

Demo for the above two :

nice tips. I find console.table very nice to display for example arrays in a very nice way!

We can do more with it:

• Create a snipet for faster typing (see my gif)
• Some log services like Cloudwatch will display console.log({input}) is not better than console.log(input)
• For print object, we can use: console.dir({obj}, {depth: null})
