Console Module
==============
`global.console === require('console')`
**Note**: You don't need to load this module directly. The `console` object is globally defined throughout ArangoDB and provides access to all functions in this module.
console.assert
--------------
`console.assert(expression, format, argument1, ...)`
Tests that an expression is *true*. If not, logs a message and throws
an exception.
*Examples*
```js
console.assert(value === "abc", "expected: value === abc, actual:", value);
```
console.debug
-------------
`console.debug(format, argument1, ...)`
Formats the arguments according to *format* and logs the result as
debug message. Note that debug messages will only be logged if the
server is started with log levels *debug* or *trace*.
String substitution patterns, which can be used in *format*.
* *%%s* string
* *%%d*, *%%i* integer
* *%%f* floating point number
* *%%o* object hyperlink
*Examples*
```js
console.debug("%s", "this is a test");
```
console.dir
-----------
`console.dir(object)`
Logs a listing of all properties of the object.
Example usage:
```js
console.dir(myObject);
```
console.error
-------------
`console.error(format, argument1, ...)`
Formats the arguments according to @FA{format} and logs the result as
error message.
String substitution patterns, which can be used in *format*.
* *%%s* string
* *%%d*, *%%i* integer
* *%%f* floating point number
* *%%o* object hyperlink
Example usage:
```js
console.error("error '%s': %s", type, message);
```
console.getline
---------------
`console.getline()`
Reads in a line from the console and returns it as string.
console.group
-------------
`console.group(format, argument1, ...)`
Formats the arguments according to *format* and logs the result as
log message. Opens a nested block to indent all future messages
sent. Call *groupEnd* to close the block. Representation of block
is up to the platform, it can be an interactive block or just a set of
indented sub messages.
Example usage:
```js
console.group("user attributes");
console.log("name", user.name);
console.log("id", user.id);
console.groupEnd();
```
console.groupCollapsed

`console.groupCollapsed(format, argument1, ...)`
Same as *console.group*.
