The console.debug() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of the console module which is used to print messages to stdout in a newline. Similar to the console.log() method.

Syntax:

console.debug(data, args);

Parameters: This method has two parameters as mentioned above and described below:

  • data: This parameter specifies the data to be printed.
  • args: It is an optional parameter that specifies parameters to be passed as substitution values in messages passed to data. All passed args are sent to util.format().

Return Value: This method doesn’t return anything but print the formatted message to stdout in a new line. 

Example 1: The below example illustrates the use of a console.debug() method in Node.js: 

Filename: app.js 

javascript




// Accessing console module
const console = require('console');
 
// Calling console.debug()
console.debug("This is a sample debug message!");
console.debug("Sample debug message with args: %d", 39);


Run the app.js file using the following command:

node app.js

Output:

This is a sample debug message!
Sample debug message with args: 39

Example 2: The below example illustrates the use of a console.debug() method in Node.js:  

Filename: app.js 

javascript




// Accessing console module
const console = require('console');
 
// Calling console.debug()
console.debug("This is a %s",
    " sample debug message!");
console.debug("Sample debug message"
    + " with args: %d", 34);
console.debug("Debug message: Warning "
    + "at function %s: line number %d ",
    "ff()", 96)
 
let isDebugMode = true;
console.custom_debug = function (message) {
    if (isDebugMode) {
        console.log(message);
    }
}
 
console.custom_debug("Custom debug message");


Run the app.js file using the following command:

node app.js

Output:

This is a  sample debug message!
Sample debug message with args: 34
Debug message: Warning at function ff(): line number 96
