Logging

Both front-end and back-end notes can log messages for debugging.

UI logging via api.log

The API log feature integrates with the script editor and it displays all the messages logged via api.log. This works for both back-end and front-end scripts.

The API log panel will appear after executing a script that uses api.log and it can be dismissed temporarily by pressing the close button in the top-right of the panel.

Apart from strings, an object can be passed as well in which case it will be pretty-formatted if possible (e.g. recursive objects are not supported).

Console logging

For logs that are not directly visible to the user, the standard console.log can be used as well.

• For front-end scripts, the log will be shown in the Developer Tools (also known as Inspect).
• For back-end scripts, the log will be shown in the server output while running but will not be visible in the Backend (server) logs.
