Using console.table to Display Array of Objects | 點燈坊

Besides using console.log to display debugging messages, we can use console.table to display Array of Objects for a better layout.

Version

ECMAScript 2015

console.table

Array of Objects is displayed with a better layout, and each column is sortable.

<script setup>
let data = [
  { title: 'Macbook', price: 100 },
  { title: 'iPhone', price: 200 },
  { title: 'iPad', price: 300 }
]

console.table (data)
</script>

Instead of using console.log, we can use console.table to display Array of Objects.

Restricting the Columns Displayed

Only showing columns concerned.

<script setup>
let data = [
  { title: 'Macbook', price: 100 },
  { title: 'iPhone', price: 200 },
  { title: 'iPad', price: 300 }
]

console.table (data, ['title'])
</script>

Pass Array to the 2nd argument of console.table to restrict the columns displayed.

Conclusion

• console.log is good for primitive, but console.table is better for Array of Objects
