Basic console.log will not go through long and complex objects, and may decide to just print [Object] instead.
Two of the suitable ways to print the object with nested properties are exemplified below:
1.
util.inspect(object[, options]) const util = require('util'), const obj = {} // some complex object console.log(util.inspect(obj, {depth: null})); //{ depth: null } instructs util.inspect to open everything until it gets to a circular reference //There are other options also available, such as showHidden, colors, maxStringLength, maxArrayLength, sorted, etc. //Documentation: https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#utilinspectobject-options
2.
JSON.stringify(value, replacer, space) const obj = {} console.log(JSON.stringify(obj, null, "\t")); // "/t" would format the output with a tab in each line of property output //Documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify
