does webstorm have some shortcut for console.log or console.info

Question

Just tired of typing console.log again and again, and do not find a way like 'Sysout + Control + Space' in Eclipse will create System.out.println().

Answer 1

There's a predefined Postfix template that allows you to type .log after a JavaScript expression or string and hit Tab to transform it to console.log().

You can also create a Live template (see Preferences | Editor | Live templates) that would expand into a code snippet once you type the selected abbreviation and hit Tab.

Update: there's now also a plugin that allows you to add console.log with a shortcut: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10986-console-log

Answer 2

Yes it does,

<anything>.log and press Tab key. This will result in console.log(<anything>);

ie,

<anything>.log + Tab => console.log(<anything>);

---

eg1: variable

let my_var = 'Hello, World!';
my_var.log + Tab => console.log(my_var);

eg2: string

'hello'.log + Tab => console.log('hello');

eg3: string and variable

'hello', my_var.log + Tab => console.log('hello', my_var);

Answer 3

I made my own template that seems to work. It may be useful for somebody.

Abbreviation: ll

Template text:

console.log('$NAME$ ', $VALUE$);
    $END$

Variables: (just select the given field values by clicking drop down box)

1. NAME - jsDefineParameter()
2. VALUE - jsSuggestVariableName

Answer 4

I'm including what I find to be the most efficient, which I added via live templates -> javascript -> applicable to "Everything". Hopefully someone finds it useful.

console.log('L$LINE$ $MYSTRING$ ===', $MYVAR$);$END$

What it does: When I type cl and press tab, it creates the log and the first thing you type fills both MYSTRING and MYVAR variables. If you tab again, it selects MYVAR where you can rewrite/delete as desired. The third time you hit tab will take you to the end of the line at $END. This snippet also prints the line number like L123 but you can easily remove that if it isn't helpful because obviously most browsers show line number anyway.

You also have to set the variables' behaviour as seen in the image below:

Answer 5

I made a custom template. This can help you.

Abbreviation: clog

Template code:

console.log("\n\n--------------------------------");
console.log($END$);
console.log("--------------------------------\n\n");

Answer 6

Simplest live template text:

console.log($END$);
