The console. group() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of the console module which is used to print passed content in a grouped style. It indicates the start of a message group. To end this group we can use console. groupEnd() method. 

Syntax:

console.group([label]);

Parameters: This method accepts only one parameter as mentioned above and described below:

  1. label:  The label for the group which you are grouping on the console. This parameter is not mandatory, it’s optional and can be run console. group() method without passing label parameter.

Parameter Values: 

  1. Type: String
  2. Required: Optional

Return Value: This method doesn’t return anything but group the content on the console with a label if provided otherwise simply without a label. 

Below examples illustrate the use of console. group() method in Node.js.

Example 1: 

index.js




// Node.js program to demonstrate the 
// console.group() method 
// This code example demonstrate the
// method without parameter
  
// Accessing console module 
const console = require('console'); 
  
console.log("GeeksforGeeks");
console.log();
  
// Creating  First Group
console.group();
  
// Printing First Statement of Group 
console.log("1st print from the first group");
  
// Printing Second Statement of Group 
console.log("2nd print from the first group");
  
// Ending  the group 
console.groupEnd();
console.log();


Run index.js file using below command:

node index.js

Console Output: 

GeeksforGeeks

 1st print from the first group
 2nd print from the first group

Example 2: 

index.js




// Node.js program to demonstrate the 
// console.group() method 
  
// This code example demonstrate the method
// with parameter and nested groups
  
// Accessing console module 
const console = require('console');
  
console.log("GeeksforGeeks ");
  
console.log("==========================");
console.log();
  
// Creating First group
console.group("This is the starting main group");
console.log();
  
// Printing First statement of Group 
console.log("1st group and not from any nested group");
console.log();
  
// Creating nested group in First group 
console.group("Starting of the 1st Nested group");
  
// Printing 1st line of nested group
console.log("Hello Geeks for Geeks from "
    + "1st Main Nested group");
  
// Printing 2nd line of nested group 
console.log("Computer Science Portal(GeeksforGeeks)"
    + " from 1st Main Nested group");
  
// Ending of the first nested group
console.groupEnd();
  
console.log();
console.log();
  
// Creating second nested group 
console.group("Starting of the 2nd Main Nested group");
  
// Printing 1st line of second nested group
console.log("Hello from 2nd Main Nested group");
  
// Printing 2nd line of second nested group
console.log("Hello from 2nd Main Nested group");
  
// Ending of the second nested group
console.groupEnd();
console.log();
  
// Printing last line of the group
console.log("Now Main group will end");
  
console.log();
  
// Calling groupEnd() method (It is used to 
// end the group for more understanding 
// the group method) 
console.groupEnd();
  
// Printing from outside the Main group
console.log("This the Hello from GeeksforGeeks"
    + " from outside the Main Group");
  
console.log();
console.log("===========================");


Console Output:

GeeksforGeeks 
==========================

This is the starting main group
  
  1st group and not from any nested group
  
  Starting of the 1st Nested group
    Hello Geeks for Geeks from 1st Main Nested group
    Computer Science Portal(GeeksforGeeks) 
      from 1st Main Nested group
  
  
  Starting of the 2nd Main Nested group
    Hello from 2nd Main Nested group
    Hello from 2nd Main Nested group
  
  Now Main group will end
  
This the Hello from GeeksforGeeks from 
  outside the Main Group
