Dumping whole array: console.log and console.dir output "... NUM more items]"

I am trying to log a long array so I can copy it quickly in my terminal. However, if I try and log the array it looks like:

['item',
 'item',
  >>more items<<<
  ... 399 more items ]

How can I log the entire array so I can copy it really quickly?

Solution

  • Setting maxArrayLength

    There are a few methods all of which require setting maxArrayLength which otherwise defaults to 100.

    1. Provide the override as an option to console.dir

      console.dir(myArry, {'maxArrayLength': null});

    2. Set util.inspect.defaultOptions.maxArrayLength = null; which will impact all calls to console.log and util.format

    3. Call util.inspect yourself with options.

      const util = require('util')
console.log(util.inspect(array, { maxArrayLength: null }))
