You should use the chrome debugger if you do any frontend js/ts work. /thread

console.log is dead. The debugger saves my ass every time.

You don’t need to set up anything or even import it if your using Chrome. You just:

  1. Add debugger; anywhere in your code: (stick it behind an if if you like!)
  2. If you’re debugging on the fly, find your file in the sources tab and click “Add Breakpoint”.

Now you can really debug all those god damn rerenders.

(It can do a load of other cool things too like logging on global DOM events like on mousedown. Here’s the docs.)
