groupCollapsed

Creates a new inline group in the console that is initially collapsed, requiring user interaction to expand it.

Signature

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

Description

The console.groupCollapsed method creates a new inline group in the console output that is initially collapsed. This is similar to console.group() but starts in a collapsed state, helping to create less cluttered console output while still organizing related messages. The group can be expanded by the user if needed.

Note: as roblox does not have intelligrnt logging, groupCollapsed acts like group()

Parameters
