NativeScript’s global console
variable lets you print values to your terminal for debugging. The simplest usage is passing a value to the console.log()
function:
console.log("hello world");
The console
object has several other methods, including dump()
, trace()
, assert()
and more.
// Prints the state of a full object. console.dump({ firstName: "Native", lastName: "Script"}); // Prints the current stack trace console.trace(); // Asserts a boolean condition, and prints to the console if the assertion fails. console.assert(1 === 1, "This won’t print as the condition is true"); console.assert(1 === 2, "This will print as the condition is false");
