Solution 1

just join all the elements, separated in string with "," :

uniqueNames.join("\",\"")

Solution 2

To print the full array in the console you can do : console.log(JSON.stringify(uniqueNames))

Solution 3

I was looking for console.table(array):

I want to print an array (uniqueNames) in the Chrome Console:
```
> console.log(uniqueNames)
```
but the problem I come across is that after
```
> ["Theodor", "Albertus", /* 95 other elements */ "Andreas", "Bernd", "Roland"…] <--- dots here
```
How to print the full array like the first 100 elements? I want to copy it and use in another application. Or maybe it is possible to write this array from the Chrome Console to a file (also in one line, and not as whole log)?

  Why should I ask Google to change Chrome just for me? If one want format the output in bash, one format it and do not ask bash developers to change bash. I just want to find the way to format the output string. Actually, already found it. Yes - one possibility - to .append(uniqueNames), but it looks ugly (still unformatted)

yes, but IMO this answer is not entirely correct, because JSON.stringify will not print a string but convert to a string.

oh, you are right i kind of misread and thought he wanted to print from console and not from the code. answer edited.

Maybe you didn't answer the original question properly, but this is what most of us are looking for - thanks 😉

Works, but leaves off the first and last quotation mark for me. Easy fix is just to use this: "\"" + uniqueNames.join("\",\"") + "\""

If the array is large VS Code prints only part from the start and part from the middle. How can I print the whole array of 450 JSON Objects?

console.log(JSON.stringify(uniqueNames, null, 2)) // for pretty format
