Examples
A group of messages (output in the browser console):
console.group('Order #42');
console.info('Items: 3');
console.info('Total: $27');
console.groupEnd();Output:
Order #42
Items: 3
Total: $27Notes
Every console.group() needs a matching console.groupEnd(). The console.groupCollapsed() variant starts the group collapsed. This example does not run on the site — open the browser console (F12).
