Use the Console API to write messages to the Console from your JavaScript. See Get started with logging messages to the Console for an interactive introduction to the topic.
See Console utilities API reference if you're looking for the convenience methods like debug(function) or
monitorEvents(node) which are only available from the Console.
console.assert(expression, object)
Log level: Error
Writes an error to the console when expression evaluates to false.
const x = 5;
const y = 3;
const reason = 'x is expected to be less than y';
console.assert(x < y, {x, y, reason});
console.clear()
Clears the console.
console.clear();
If Preserve Log is enabled, console.clear() is disabled.
Alternatively, you can Clear the Console by clicking the 
icon.
console.count([label])
Log level: Info
Writes the number of times that count() has been invoked at the same line and with the same
label. Call console.countReset([label]) to reset the count.
console.count();
console.count('coffee');
console.count();
console.count();
console.countReset([label])
Resets a count.
console.countReset();
console.countReset('coffee');
console.createTask(name)
Returns a Task instance that associates the current stack trace with the created task object. You can later use this task object to run a function (f in the following example). The task.run(f) executes an arbitrary payload and forwards the return value back to the caller.
// Task creation
const task = console.createTask(name);
// Task execution
task.run(f); // instead of f();
The task forms a link between the creation context and the context of the async function. This link lets DevTools show better stack traces for async operations. For more information, see Linked Stack Traces.
console.debug(object [, object, ...])
Log level: Verbose
Identical to console.log(object [, object, ...]) except different log level.
console.debug('debug');
console.dir(object)
Log level: Info
Prints a JSON representation of the specified object.
console.dir(document.head);
console.dirxml(node)
Log level: Info
Prints an XML representation of the descendants of node.
console.dirxml(document);
console.error(object [, object, ...])
Log level: Error
Prints object to the Console, formats it as an error, and includes a stack trace.
console.error("I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.");
console.group(label)
Visually groups messages together until console.groupEnd(label) is called. Use
console.groupCollapsed(label) to collapse the group when it's initially logged to the Console.
const label = 'Adolescent Irradiated Espionage Tortoises';
console.group(label);
console.info('Leo');
console.info('Mike');
console.info('Don');
console.info('Raph');
console.groupEnd(label);
Additionally, you can nest groups.
const timeline1 = 'New York 2012';
const timeline2 = 'Camp Lehigh 1970';
console.group(timeline1);
console.info('Mind');
console.info('Time');
console.group(timeline2);
console.info('Space');
console.info('Extra Pym Particles');
console.groupEnd(timeline2);
console.groupEnd(timeline1);
console.groupCollapsed(label)
Same as console.group(label), except the group is initially collapsed when it's logged to
the Console.
console.groupEnd(label)
Stops visually grouping messages. See console.group.
console.info(object [, object, ...])
Log level: Info
Identical to console.log(object [, object, ...]).
console.info('info');
console.log(object [, object, ...])
Log level: Info
Prints a message to the Console.
console.log('log');
console.table(array [, columns])
Log level: Info
Logs an array of objects as a table.
var people = [
{
first: 'René',
last: 'Magritte',
},
{
first: 'Chaim',
last: 'Soutine',
birthday: '18930113',
},
{
first: 'Henri',
last: 'Matisse',
}
];
console.table(people);
By default, console.table() logs all table data. To display a single column or a subset of columns, you can use the second optional parameter and specify column name or names as a string or an array of strings. For example:
console.table(people, ['last', 'birthday']);
console.time([label])
Starts a new timer. Call console.timeEnd([label]) to stop the timer and print the elapsed time to
the Console.
console.time();
for (var i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
let square = i ** 2;
}
console.timeEnd();
console.timeEnd([label])
Log level: Info
Stops a timer. See console.time().
console.trace()
Log level: Info
Prints a stack trace to the Console.
const first = () => { second(); };
const second = () => { third(); };
const third = () => { fourth(); };
const fourth = () => { console.trace(); };
first();
console.warn(object [, object, ...])
Log level: Warning
Prints a warning to the Console.
console.warn('warn');
