how to create line breaks in console.log() in node

Question

Is there a way to get new lines in console.log when printing multiple objects?

Suppose we have console.log(a,b,c) where a, b, and c are objects. Is there a way to get a line break between the objects?

I tried console.log(a,'\n',b,'\n',c) but that does not work in node

Answer 1

Another way would be a simple:

console.log(a);
console.log(b);
console.log(c);

Answer 2

I have no idea why this works in node but the following seems to do the trick:

console.log('',a,'\n',b,'\n',c)

An alternative is creating your own logger along with the original logger from JS.

var originalLogger = console.log;
console.log = function() {
  for (var o of arguments) originalLogger(o);
}

console.log({ a: 1 }, { b: 3 }, { c: 3 })

If you want to avoid any clash with the original logger from JS

console.ownlog = function() {
  for (var o of arguments) console.log(o);
}

console.ownlog({ a: 1 }, { b: 3 }, { c: 3 })

Answer 4

Without adding white space at start of new line:-

console.log("one\ntwo");

output:-

one two

This will add white space at start of new line:-

console.log("one","\n",two");

output:-

one two

Answer 5

You need to use \n inside the console.log like this:

console.log('one','\n','two');

Answer 6

Add \n (newline) between them:

console.log({ a: 1 }, '\n', { b: 3 }, '\n', { c: 3 })
