Node LogPoints should support outputting well formatted objects

Node LogPoints should support outputting well formatted objects

Example:

So what could be a solution here?

Breakdown expressions and forward to console.log as arguments?

Product: {product} -> console.log('Product:', product)?

Product.constructor.getProduct for {product.id}, result: {product} ->
console.log('Product.constructor.getProduct for :', product.id, "result:", product)?

Use formatting options for expressions:

Chrome/Node supports print-if style formatting. Se https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/console/console-reference#format-specifiers and https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_format_format_args

Product: {product} -> console.log('Product %o', product)?

Product.constructor.getProduct for {product.id}, result: {product} ->
console.log('Product.constructor.getProduct for %o, result: %o, product.id, product)?
