console.log in vim

console.log.vim

" Console log from insert mode; Puts focus inside parentheses
imap cll console.log();<Esc>==f(a
" Console log from visual mode on next line, puts visual selection inside parentheses
vmap cll yocll<Esc>p
" Console log from normal mode, inserted on next line with word your on inside parentheses
nmap cll yiwocll<Esc>p 

one maybe more "modern" alternative to this gist (which i used happily for years already, but wanted to try out something new) is to use "snippet" plugins like https://github.com/hrsh7th/vim-vsnip

Procedure:
Install vim-vsnip plugin
Run :VsnipOpen
Select type global (or filetype specific)
This opens a blank file where you can put your snippets
Put this in the snip file

{
  "console.log": {
    "prefix": "cl",
    "body": "console.log(${0})"
  }
}

console.log is the name of the snippet. you can add more to the file for custom usages. Then while you are typing in insert mode

cl<Tab>
