I have a problem with logging out the contents of an array inside an object. The actual object looks like this
var stuff = { accepted: [ 'item1', 'item2' ],
rejected: [],
response: 'Foo',
envelope: { from: 'The sender', to: ['new item1', 'new item2'] },
messageId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx' } }
The console.log
shows the items of the first array fine but the second array is being output as [Object]
.
{ accepted: [ 'item1', 'item2' ],
rejected: [],
response: 'Foo',
envelope: { from: 'The sender', to: [Object] },
messageId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx' } }
What is happening here and how can I get the items of the second array to show when I console.log
. Thanks for any help!
UPDATE
Sorry, I forgot to add that I am working exclusively in Node.js so it's a server side log that needs to display the object exactly as it's received from a callback with a straight console.log
, ie. no further stringify-ing.
I also just tried creating another random object with a similar structure like this.
var objText = {
fun: {
stuff: 'Some stuff',
list: ['this', 'it', 'takes']
}
};
The console.log
for the above is:
{ fun: { stuff: 'Some stuff', list: [ 'this', 'it', 'takes' ] } }
This appears to be the same structure to me and yet the console.log
works fine so it seems to be perfectly possible in Node to log arrays content even when it's embedded inside and an object inside an outer object.
This is the default way for some browser and implementations of showing too complex or deep objects/arrays with console.log. An alternative is to use JSON.stringify with console.log:
var stuff = { accepted: ['item1', 'item2'], rejected: [], response: 'Foo', envelope: { from: 'The sender', to: ['new item1', 'new item2'] }, messageId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx' } console.log(JSON.stringify(stuff, null, 4));
EDIT:
Another alternative is to use console.dir
in case you have a too complex or recursive object, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/27534731/6051261
It looks like this is an old topic, anyway
I've faced the same issue, embedded array printed as [Array]
.
It is because of console.log in the node.js uses util.inspect
for print, the default depth is 2. So, to print something which is deeper than 2 followings can be used:
const util = require('util')
console.log(util.inspect(errors, true, 10))
试试看: console.log(JSON.stringify(variable))
If you like Chrome devtools, that folds your json objects and let you observe a lot of things, you can use the --inspect
flag:
node --inspect index.js
The console will then give you an URL and you just have to copy paste in Google Chrome to enjoy Google Chrome console.
