Logging can often clutter up the console, so it's common to define log levels to control what detail of data is getting logged. A common pattern is to specify a log level variables.
var DEBUG = false;
var TRACE = false;
Template.landingPage.events({
'click .selectItemButton':function(){
TRACE && console.count('click .selectItemButton');
Meteor.call('niftyAction', function(errorMessage, result){
if(errorMessage){
DEBUG && console.error(errorMessage);
}
});
}
});
