`log`

The console, and the application's log file.

Every command on this page carries a worked example.

log function

log(anything, …)

Pretty-prints anything — records and collections included — to the console while developing, and into the application's log file (at the information level) in a built application.

It pretty-prints records and whole query results — log(query.all()) during development answers "what is actually in there" faster than any breakpoint.

Worked example

log("Import started", new Date());
log(form.record);                      // a record prints its fields
log(database.customers.where("town", "=", "Hull").all());
