How can I get the full object in Node.js's console.log(), rather than '[Object]'?

Question

When debugging using console.log(), how can I get the full object?

const myObject = {
   \"a\":\"a\",
   \"b\":{
      \"c\":\"c\",
      \"d\":

The node REPL has a built-in solution for overriding how objects are displayed, see here.

The REPL module internally uses util.inspect(), when printing values. However, util.inspect delegates the call to the object's inspect() function, if it has one.
