Output to the command line using Node.js

Basic output using the console module

Node.js provides a console module which provides tons of very useful ways to interact with the command line.

It is basically the same as the console object you find in the browser.

The most basic and most used method is console.log(), which prints the string you pass to it to the console.

If you pass an object, it will render it as a string.

You can pass multiple variables to console.log, for example:

const const x: "x"x = 'x';
const const y: "y"y = 'y';

var console: ConsoleThe `console` module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the
JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers.

The module exports two specific components:

* A `Console` class with methods such as `console.log()`, `console.error()` and `console.warn()` that can be used to write to any Node.js stream.
* A global `console` instance configured to write to [`process.stdout`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstdout) and
[`process.stderr`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstderr). The global `console` can be used without importing the `node:console` module.

_**Warning**_: 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 [`note on process I/O`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#a-note-on-process-io) for
more information.

Example using the global `console`:

```js
console.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints error message and stack trace to stderr:
//   Error: Whoops, something bad happened
//     at [eval]:5:15
//     at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18)
//     at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:309:38)
//     at node:internal/process/execution:77:19
//     at [eval]-wrapper:6:22
//     at evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60)
//     at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3

const name = 'Will Robinson';
console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to stderr
```

Example using the `Console` class:

```js
const out = getStreamSomehow();
const err = getStreamSomehow();
const myConsole = new console.Console(out, err);

myConsole.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints: [Error: Whoops, something bad happened], to err

const name = 'Will Robinson';
myConsole.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to err
```
@see[source](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v22.x/lib/console.js)console.Console.log(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void (+1 overload)Prints to `stdout` with newline. Multiple arguments can be passed, with the
first used as the primary message and all additional used as substitution
values similar to [`printf(3)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/printf.3.html)
(the arguments are all passed to [`util.format()`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/util.html#utilformatformat-args)).

```js
const count = 5;
console.log('count: %d', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout
console.log('count:', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout
```

See [`util.format()`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/util.html#utilformatformat-args) for more information.
@sincev0.1.100log(const x: "x"x, const y: "y"y);

and Node.js will print both.

We can also format pretty phrases by passing variables and a format specifier.

Counting elements

console.count() is a handy method.

Reset counting

The console.countReset() method resets counter used with console.count().

We will use the apples and orange example to demonstrate this.

const const oranges: string[]oranges = ['orange', 'orange'];
const const apples: string[]apples = ['just one apple'];

const oranges: string[]oranges.Array<string>.forEach(callbackfn: (value: string, index: number, array: string[]) => void, thisArg?: any): voidPerforms the specified action for each element in an array.
@paramcallbackfn A function that accepts up to three arguments. forEach calls the callbackfn function one time for each element in the array.@paramthisArg An object to which the this keyword can refer in the callbackfn function. If thisArg is omitted, undefined is used as the this value.forEach(fruit: stringfruit => {
  var console: ConsoleThe `console` module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the
JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers.

The module exports two specific components:

* A `Console` class with methods such as `console.log()`, `console.error()` and `console.warn()` that can be used to write to any Node.js stream.
* A global `console` instance configured to write to [`process.stdout`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstdout) and
[`process.stderr`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstderr). The global `console` can be used without importing the `node:console` module.

_**Warning**_: 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 [`note on process I/O`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#a-note-on-process-io) for
more information.

Example using the global `console`:

```js
console.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints error message and stack trace to stderr:
//   Error: Whoops, something bad happened

console.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints error message and stack trace to stderr:
//   Error: Whoops, something bad happened
//     at [eval]:5:15
//     at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18)
//     at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:309:38)
//     at node:internal/process/execution:77:19
//     at [eval]-wrapper:6:22
//     at evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60)
//     at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3

const name = 'Will Robinson';
console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to stderr
```

Example using the `Console` class:

```js
const out = getStreamSomehow();
const err = getStreamSomehow();
const myConsole = new console.Console(out, err);

myConsole.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints: [Error: Whoops, something bad happened], to err

const name = 'Will Robinson';
myConsole.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to err
```

stdout and stderr

As we saw console.log is great for printing messages in the Console. This is what's called the standard output, or stdout.

console.error prints to the stderr stream.

It will appear in the console, but can be handled separately from regular output.

Color the output

NOTE This part of the resource is designed with version 22.11 which notes styleText as ‘Active development’.

In many cases, you will be tempted to paste certain text to get a nice output at the terminal.

There is a styleText function provided by the node:util module. Let's discover how to use it.

First of all, you need to import the styleText function from the node:util module:

import { function styleText(format: ForegroundColors | BackgroundColors | Modifiers | Array<ForegroundColors | BackgroundColors | Modifiers>, text: string, options?: StyleTextOptions): stringThis function returns a formatted text considering the `format` passed
for printing in a terminal. It is aware of the terminal's capabilities
and acts according to the configuration set via `NO_COLOR`,
`NODE_DISABLE_COLORS` and `FORCE_COLOR` environment variables.

```js
import { styleText } from 'node:util';
import { stderr } from 'node:process';

const successMessage = styleText('green', 'Success!');
console.log(successMessage);

const errorMessage = styleText(
  'red',
  'Error! Error!',
  // Validate if process.stderr has TTY
  { stream: stderr },
);
console.error(errorMessage);
```

`util.inspect.colors` also provides text formats such as `italic`, and
`underline` and you can combine both:

```js
console.log(
  util.styleText(['underline', 'italic'], 'My italic underlined message'),
);
```

When passing an array of formats, the order of the format applied
is left to right so the following style might overwrite the previous one.

```js
console.log(
  util.styleText(['red', 'green'], 'text'), // green
);
```

The special format value `none` applies no additional styling to the text.

The full list of formats can be found in [modifiers](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/util.html#modifiers).
@paramformat A text format or an Array of text formats defined in `util.inspect.colors`.@paramtext The text to to be formatted.@sincev20.12.0styleText } from 'node:util';

Then, you can use it to style your text:

var console: ConsoleThe `console` module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the
JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers.

The module exports two specific components:

* A `Console` class with methods such as `console.log()`, `console.error()` and `console.warn()` that can be used to write to any Node.js stream.
* A global `console` instance configured to write to [`process.stdout`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstdout) and
[`process.stderr`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstderr). The global `console` can be used without importing the `node:console` module.

_**Warning**_: 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 [`note on process I/O`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#a-note-on-process-io) for
more information.

Example using the global `console`:

```js
console.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints error message and stack trace to stderr:
//   Error: Whoops, something bad happened
//     at [eval]:5:15
//     at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18)
//     at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:309:38)
//     at node:internal/process/execution:77:19
//     at [eval]-wrapper:6:22
//     at evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60)
//     at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3

const name = 'Will Robinson';
console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to stderr
```

Example using the `Console` class:

```js
const out = getStreamSomehow();
const err = getStreamSomehow();
const myConsole = new console.Console(out, err);

myConsole.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints: [Error: Whoops, something bad happened], to err

const name = 'Will Robinson';
myConsole.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to err
```
@see[source](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v22.x/lib/console.js)console.Console.log(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void (+1 overload)Prints to `stdout` with newline. Multiple arguments can be passed, with the
first used as the primary message and all additional used as substitution
values similar to [`printf(3)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/printf.3.html)
(the arguments are all passed to [`util.format()`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/util.html#utilformatformat-args)).

```js
const count = 5;
console.log('count: %d', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout
console.log('count:', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout
```

See [`util.format()`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/util.html#utilformatformat-args) for more information.
@sincev0.1.100log(
  styleText(['red'], 'This is red text ') +
    styleText(['green', 'bold'], 'and this is green bold text ') +
    'this is normal text'
);

The first argument is an array of styles, and the second argument is the text you want to style. We invite you to read the docs
