Pretty Print Json Chrome Developer Console

Wrap your object in JSON.stringify and log it to the console:

const currentlyDrinking = {
    beer: 'Yeungling',
    container: 'bottle',
    empty: true
};

console.log(JSON.stringify(currentlyDrinking));

This will result in the following minified object:

{"beer":"Yeungling","container":"bottle","empty":true}

Not exactly pretty yet, so we’ll need to format it. This is especially important for larger objects.

To format our object, we’ll need to specify the number of spaces we’d like:

const currentlyDrinking = {
    beer: 'Yeungling',
    container: 'bottle',
    empty: true
};

console.log(JSON.stringify(currentlyDrinking, undefined, 4)); // use 4-space tabs to format and indent the code

This results in:

{
    "beer": "Yeungling",
    "container": "bottle",
    "empty": true
}

Much better!
