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.
