# Console (serverside)

(console)

## Overview

The `ConsoleObject` class enables server-side console logging for custom web components or services in Servoy NG client applications. It mimics the browser-side `console` object, providing methods to log messages, warnings, and errors, which are particularly useful for debugging and monitoring application behavior.

The `error` method reports errors, including stack traces when available, ensuring comprehensive logging. Alongside `log` and `warn`, these methods adapt their behavior based on the application type. For debug clients, messages are sent to the debugger, while for other applications, messages are reported using the standard JavaScript reporting mechanisms.

## Methods Summarized

| Type | Name                         | Summary                          |
| ---- | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| void | [error(value)](#error-value) | Report an error to the console.  |
| void | [log(value)](#log-value)     | Report a message to the console. |
