Answer 1

You can use the label string followed by variable name and a "+" operator in between, as follows:

console.log("Counter : " + counter);

Answer 2

There is one workaround

function p(variableInObject) {
    let name = Object.keys(variableInObject)[0]
    let value = variableInObject[name] 
    console.log(name, value)
}
let g = 5
p({g}) // g 5
// it even works with loops
for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
  p({i})  // i 0, then i 1, then i 2
}

Answer 3

Not directly, but you can just name them when you output them.

console.log (and .error, .info, and .warn) let you pass any number of values at the same time, so it's super easy to just do something like this:

console.log('counter', counter);

which would output like:

counter 1

let counter = 0;

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  counter++;
  console.log('counter', counter);
}
