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:

Enclose variables in curly braces :

console.log({input}) instead of console.log(“input”,input)
Create a global variable and assign console.log() function to it . Use that variable instead of console.log

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

Yeah it's a good way to display

ℹ always 4get about that!

that is nice too!

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})
