How can I log an HTML element as a JavaScript object?
Use console.dir
:
var element = document.documentElement; // or any other elementconsole.log(element); // logs the expandable <html>…</html>console.dir(element); // logs the element’s properties and values
If you’re inside the console already, you could simply type dir
instead of console.dir
:
dir(element); // logs the element’s properties and values
To simply list the different property names (without the values), you could use Object.keys
:
Object.keys(element); // logs the element’s property names
Even though there’s no public console.keys()
method, if you’re inside the console already, you could just enter:
keys(element); // logs the element’s property names
This won’t work outside the console window, though.
Browser print only html part, you can put the element in a object to see dome structure.
console.log({element})
