provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers.</p> <p>The module exports two specific components:</p> <ul> <li>A <code>Console</code> class with methods such as <code>console.log()</code>, <code>console.error()</code>, and <code>console.warn()</code> that can be used to write to any Node.js stream.</li> <li>A global <code>console</code> instance configured to write to <a href="process.html#processstdout"><code>process.stdout</code></a> and <a href="process.html#processstderr"><code>process.stderr</code></a>. The global <code>console</code> can be used without calling <code>require('node:console')</code>.</li> </ul> <p><em><strong>Warning</strong></em>: The global console object's methods are neither consistently synchronous like the browser APIs they resemble, nor are they consistently asynchronous like all other Node.js streams. See the <a href="process.html#a-note-on-process-io">note on process I/O</a> for more information.</p> <p>Example using the global <code>console</code>:</p> <pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-variable language_">console</span>.<span class="hljs-title function_">log</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'hello world'</span>); <span class="hljs-comment">// Prints: hello world, to stdout</span> <span class="hljs-variable language_">console</span>.<span class="hljs-title function_">log</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'hello %s'</span>, <span class="hljs-string">'world'</span>); <span class="hljs-comment">// Prints: hello world, to stdout</span> <span class="hljs-variable language_">console</span>.<span class="hljs-title function_">error</span>(<span class="hljs-keyword">new</span> <span class="hljs-title class_">Error</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'Whoops, something bad happened'</span>)); <span class="hljs-comment">// Prints error message and stack trace to stderr:</span> <span class="hljs-comment">// Error: Whoops, something bad happened</span> <span class="hljs-comment">// at [eval]:5:15</span> <span class="hljs-comment">// at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18)</span> <span class="hljs-comment">// at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:309:38)</span> <span class="hljs-comment">// at node:internal/process/execution:77:19</span> <span class="hljs-comment">// at [eval]-wrapper:6:22</span> <span class="hljs-comment">// at evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60)</span> <span class="hljs-comment">// at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> name = <span class="hljs-string">'Will Robinson'</span>; <span class="hljs-variable language_">console</span>.<span class="hljs-title function_">warn</span>(<span class="hljs-string">`Danger <span class="hljs-subst">${name}</span>!
