Console.table() - A Better Way to Debug using your Browser Console

Many of us are familiar with using console commands such as

**skuid.$M('ModelName');**

I recently discovered that we can use console.table()… Enjoy! :slight_smile:

**console.table(skuid.$M('ModelName').data);**

Returns the data in a model

**console.table(skuid.$M('ModelName').data, ['Id', 'Name', 'Status\_\_c']);**

Returns the data for specific fields in a model

**console.table(skuid.$M('ModelName').fields);**

Returns the properties of all the fields in a model

**console.table(skuid.$M('ModelName').conditions);**

Returns the properties of all the conditions in a model

**console.table(skuid.model.getModelsList());**

Returns a list of all Models

**console.table(skuid.model.getModelsList(), ['id', 'objectName', 'recordsLimit', 'canRetrieveMoreRows', 'orderByClause']);**

Returns a list of all Models with specific Model properties selected


And the best part is, any of these tables can be dynamically ordered!

Thanks Bill! Upon discovery, I knew this would become an invaluable tool for many of us here.

Personally, I never enjoyed calling skuid.$M(‘ModelName’); and then needing to drill down manually to 2 or 3 more levels to get the info I was actually looking for.

console.table() makes it so much easier to visually grasp.

I love this post.

Agreed. Very cool find.
