Is there any quick way of getting Chrome to output timestamps in console.log
writes (like Firefox does). Or is prepending new Date().getTime()
the only option?
In Chrome, there is the option in Console Settings (Either press F1 or select Developer Tools -> Console -> Settings [upper-right corner] ) named "Show timestamps" which is exactly what I needed.
I've just found it. No other dirty hacks needed that destroys placeholders and erases place in the code where the messages was logged from.
The "Show timestamps" setting has been moved to the Preferences pane of the "DevTools settings", found in the upper-right corner of the DevTools drawer:
Try this:
console.logCopy = console.log.bind(console);
console.log = function(data)
{
var currentDate = '[' + new Date().toUTCString() + '] ';
this.logCopy(currentDate, data);
};
Or this, in case you want a timestamp:
console.logCopy = console.log.bind(console);
console.log = function(data)
{
var timestamp = '[' + Date.now() + '] ';
this.logCopy(timestamp, data);
};
To log more than one thing and in a nice way (like object tree representation):
console.logCopy = console.log.bind(console);
console.log = function()
{
if (arguments.length)
{
var timestamp = '[' + Date.now() + '] ';
this.logCopy(timestamp, arguments);
}
};
With format string ( JSFiddle )
console.logCopy = console.log.bind(console);
console.log = function()
{
// Timestamp to prepend
var timestamp = new Date().toJSON();
if (arguments.length)
{
// True array copy so we can call .splice()
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0);
// If there is a format string then... it must
// be a string
if (typeof arguments[0] === "string")
{
// Prepend timestamp to the (possibly format) string
args[0] = "%o: " + arguments[0];
// Insert the timestamp where it has to be
args.splice(1, 0, timestamp);
// Log the whole array
this.logCopy.apply(this, args);
}
else
{
// "Normal" log
this.logCopy(timestamp, args);
}
}
};
Outputs with that:
PS: Tested in Chrome only.
PPS: Array.prototype.slice
is not perfect here for it would be logged as an array of objects rather than a series those of.
I originally added this as a comment, but I wanted to add a screenshot as at least one person could not find the option (or maybe it was not available in their particular version for some reason).
On Chrome 68.0.3440.106 (and now checked in 72.0.3626.121) I had to
You can use dev tools profiler.
console.time('Timer name');
//do critical time stuff
console.timeEnd('Timer name');
"Timer name" must be the same. You can use multiple instances of timer with different names.
I convert arguments
to Array using Array.prototype.slice
so that I can concat
with another Array of what I want to add, then pass it into console.log.apply(console, /*here*/)
;
var log = function () {
return console.log.apply(
console,
['['+new Date().toISOString().slice(11,-5)+']'].concat(
Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)
)
);
};
log(['foo']); // [18:13:17] ["foo"]
It seems that arguments
can be Array.prototype.unshift
ed too, but I don't know if modifying it like this is a good idea/will have other side effects
var log = function () {
Array.prototype.unshift.call(
arguments,
'['+new Date().toISOString().slice(11,-5)+']'
);
return console.log.apply(console, arguments);
};
log(['foo']); // [18:13:39] ["foo"]
If you are using Google Chrome browser, you can use chrome console api:
The elapsed time between these two calls is displayed in the console.

From Chrome 68:
"Show timestamps" moved to settings
The Show timestamps checkbox previously in Console Settings Console Settings has moved to Settings .
Try this also:
this.log = console.log.bind( console, '[' + new Date().toUTCString() + ']' );
This function puts timestamp, filename and line number as same of built-in console.log
.
ES6 solution:
const timestamp = () => `[${new Date().toUTCString()}]`
const log = (...args) => console.log(timestamp(), ...args)
where timestamp()
returns actually formatted timestamp and log
add a timestamp and propagates all own arguments to console.log
If you want to preserve line number information (each message pointing to its .log() call, not all pointing to our wrapper), you have to use .bind()
. You can prepend an extra timestamp argument via console.log.bind(console, <timestamp>)
but the problem is you need to re-run this every time to get a function bound with a fresh timestamp. An awkward way to do that is a function that returns a bound function:
function logf() {
// console.log is native function, has no .bind in some browsers.
// TODO: fallback to wrapping if .bind doesn't exist...
return Function.prototype.bind.call(console.log, console, yourTimeFormat());
}
which then has to be used with a double call:
logf()(object, "message...")
BUT we can make the first call implicit by installing a property with getter function:
var origLog = console.log;
// TODO: fallbacks if no `defineProperty`...
Object.defineProperty(console, "log", {
get: function () {
return Function.prototype.bind.call(origLog, console, yourTimeFormat());
}
});
Now you just call console.log(...)
and automagically it prepends a timestamp!
> console.log(12)
71.919s 12 VM232:2
undefined
> console.log(12)
72.866s 12 VM233:2
undefined
You can even achieve this magical behavior with a simple log()
instead of console.log()
by doing Object.defineProperty(window, "log", ...)
.
See https://github.com/pimterry/loglevel for a well-done safe console wrapper using .bind()
, with compatibility fallbacks.
See https://github.com/eligrey/Xccessors for compatibility fallbacks from defineProperty()
to legacy __defineGetter__
API. If neither property API works, you should fallback to a wrapper function that gets a fresh timestamp every time. (In this case you lose line number info, but timestamps will still show.)
Boilerplate: Time formatting the way I like it:
var timestampMs = ((window.performance && window.performance.now) ?
function() { return window.performance.now(); } :
function() { return new Date().getTime(); });
function formatDuration(ms) { return (ms / 1000).toFixed(3) + "s"; }
var t0 = timestampMs();
function yourTimeFormat() { return formatDuration(timestampMs() - t0); }
This adds a "log" function to the local scope (using this
) using as many arguments as you want:
this.log = function() {
var args = [];
args.push('[' + new Date().toUTCString() + '] ');
//now add all the other arguments that were passed in:
for (var _i = 0, _len = arguments.length; _i < _len; _i++) {
arg = arguments[_i];
args.push(arg);
}
//pass it all into the "real" log function
window.console.log.apply(window.console, args);
}
So you can use it:
this.log({test: 'log'}, 'monkey', 42);
Outputs something like this:
[Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:47:49 GMT] Object {test: "log"} monkey 42
I have this in most Node.JS apps. It also works in the browser.
function log() {
const now = new Date();
const currentDate = `[${now.toISOString()}]: `;
const args = Array.from(arguments);
args.unshift(currentDate);
console.log.apply(console, args);
}

Show timestamps
.A refinement on the answer by JSmyth:
console.logCopy = console.log.bind(console);
console.log = function()
{
if (arguments.length)
{
var timestamp = new Date().toJSON(); // The easiest way I found to get milliseconds in the timestamp
var args = arguments;
args[0] = timestamp + ' > ' + arguments[0];
this.logCopy.apply(this, args);
}
};
