I have a question to ask as a JavaScript developer. Should I ask?
Do you often use console.log() to check the output in the console for fun purposes? I can bet everyone that, when you were a fresher, may have used the console to write the first “Hello World”.
Do you remember?
Let me share an example.
console.log (“Hello World!”)
Isn’t this giving you a nostalgic feeling? But coming back to the recent year, and it’s 2022. Let’s make it more friendly and tiny for our fingers.
Why I am telling you this? Because in this article, I am going to disclose a unique method that has been hardly used by us (developers).
Let’s go ahead.
We used to log the information to the console something like this,
console.log("Radixweb is my home") // Radixweb is my home
console.log(5 + 5) // 10
console.log(!false) // true
We have become too smart now. Right? So, let’s apply some brain power here.
const log = (arg) => console.log(arg)
Didn’t get it yet?
Actually, I have made a new function with a shorter name – log relative to console.log(). And we also can use a shorter name, something like shown in the given command:
const 1 = (arg) => console.log(arg)
Now you must have a question. Why will I use it? What kind of benefits will I get from writing code like this?
Let’s discuss some advantages here.
- Used for better readability
- Gives relief from writing a long code.
- Keeps the code neat and clean.
Allow me to give a real-time example here,
onsole.log("Radixweb is my home") // Radixweb is my home
console.log(5 + 5) // 10
console.log(!false) // true
log(Math.PI) // 3.141592653589793
Conclusion
Isn’t this interesting? This definitely saves you time and makes your code cleaner.
Moreover, you can follow the same practice for console.info(), concolse.warn(), and console.error().
