How to display a value of Object in JavaScript? [duplicate]

Question

I'm using VS Code as text editor for JavaScript, and Node.js for debugging my codes. When I debug the following code I get something called Object, I suppose it refers to something, but why doesn't it display what it refers to, and how can I do it? Is it related to my code?

function arrayToList(array) {
    let list = null;
    for (let i = array.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
      list = {value: array[i], rest: list};
    }
    return list;
}
let a = arrayToList([1,3]);
console.log(a);

This is the result (I also added a screen shot of it):

> Object {value: 1, rest: Object}

Does this answer your question? How can I get the full object in Node.js's console.log(), rather than '[Object]'? — slim

JSON objects can be accessed by . e.g: a.value this will print 1 — Najam Us Saqib

Vs code will only show the top levels. It wont show an object inside of an object. But you can do something like this to still show the entire object:

console.log(JSON.stringify(a));

OR:

console.log(a.rest)
