group

Creates a new inline group in the console, causing subsequent console messages to be indented.

Signature

function group(...args: unknown[]): void

Description

The console.group method creates a new inline group in the console output. This indents subsequent console messages until a console.groupEnd() call is made, helping to organize related log messages and make them more readable.

Parameters

...args: A list of values to output as the label for the group. Can be of any type.

Return value

None (void).

Examples

Basic usage

// Create a simple group
console.group("User Details");
console.log("Name: John Doe");
console.log("Age: 30");
console.log("Email: john@example.com");
console.groupEnd();

// Continue with normal logging
console.log("Other information");

Nested groups

// Create nested groups for hierarchical information
console.group("Application");
console.log("Version: 1.0.0");

console.group("User");
console.log("Name: John Doe");
console.log("Role: Admin");

console.group("Permissions");
console.log("- Read");
console.log("- Write");
console.log("- Delete");
console.groupEnd(); // Ends Permissions group

console.groupEnd(); // Ends User group

console.group("System");
console.log("OS: Windows");
console.log("Memory: 16GB");
console.groupEnd(); // Ends System group

console.groupEnd(); // Ends Application group
