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

By default, `console.log()` in Node.js will display `[Object]` when trying to log an object. If you want to see the full contents of an object, you can use `util.inspect()` from the `util` module, which is built into Node.js.

Here's an example of how you can use `util.inspect()` to log the full object:

```jsx
const util = require('util');

const myObject = {
  key1: 'value1',
  key2: 'value2',
  key3: {
    nestedKey: 'nestedValue'
  }
};

// Log the full object
console.log(util.inspect(myObject, { depth: null }));
```

In this example, `util.inspect()` is used to inspect the `myObject`. The second argument is an options object where `{ depth: null }` means that the inspection should not be limited by depth. This is useful for deeply nested objects.

Alternatively, you can use `util.inspect()` directly within `console.log()` without importing the entire `util` module:

```jsx
console.log(require('util').inspect(myObject, { depth: null }));
```

This approach allows you to inspect and log the full contents of an object, including nested structures, arrays, and other complex data types. Adjust the `depth` option according to your needs, and setting it to `null` will show the entire structure regardless of its depth.
