Console Everything Visual Studio Code Extension

This Visual Studio Code extension allows you to quickly insert console.log statements into your code. It provides a convenient way to add logging statements for debugging and monitoring purposes.

Features

• Press Alt+Q to insert a console.log statement at the current position.
• The inserted console.log statement will display the line number where it is being triggered. For example: console.log('Line 13.').
• If you have a selection, the extension will attempt to determine the type of the selection (function, array, object, or variable). It will include the selected text as an additional parameter in the console.log statement. For example: console.log('Line 13. Object: employeesObj', employeesObj).
• The extension intelligently adds the console.log statement below the closing brackets of the selected code block if applicable.
