console tricks compared

console.js

// preparation
var foo = 'test', bar = false, hello = { 'world':{ 'silly':'buggers'} }; 

// original base statement:
console.log('foo = ' + foo + ', bar = ' + bar);

// suggested version of http://makandracards.com/makandra/38271-useful-tricks-for-logging-debugging-information-to-the-browser-console

console.log('foo = %o, bar = %o', foo, bar);
// adjusted for hello
console.log('foo = %o, bar = %o, hello = %o', foo, bar, hello);

// my suggestion ( https://twitter.com/alltagsgrauen ) - less work and still achieves the same:
console.log('foo:', foo, 'bar:', bar, 'hello:', hello);

// slightly better readable version (just a nice-to-have):
console.log('foo:', foo, ', bar:', bar, ', hello:', hello);
