Console.Inspect

When logging deep nested objects in the Node console, it might get folded.

For example, using this deep nested object:

{
  test: 'test',
  tests: [
    {
      a: 1,
      b: 2,
      c: [
        { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }
      ], 
      d: [
        { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
  

The console.log output will be:

{ test: 'test', tests: [ { a: 1, b: 2, c : [Array], d: [Array] } ] }

Enters console.inspect that will output the entire object:

{
  test: 'test',
  tests: [
    {
      a: 1,
      b: 2,
      c: [ { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 } ],
      d: [ { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 } ]
    }
  ]
}

Usage

Import console-inspect.js at the root of your project.

import "console-inspect.js";

const myBigObject = {...};

console.inspect(myBigObject);
console.inspect("test", "test2", myBigObject);

Demo
