You may see this text if you use alert() to print an object to the screen, for instance. You can view the contents of an object using console.log(), JSON.stringify(), or a for&#8230;in loop.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When developing using JavaScript, many of us have encountered the output: <em>[object Object]<\/em>. When I saw this the first time, I went to my mentor at the time and asked: \u201cWhat does this even mean?\u201d. I was confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article aims to tell you about this output and what it means. We&#8217;ll talk about how you can translate <em>[object Object]<\/em> into readable content that you can work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is JavaScript [object Object]?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>[object Object] is a string version of an object instance. This value is returned by a JavaScript program if you try to print out an object without first formatting the object as a string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the syntax for the [object Object] object:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>[object Object]<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s no wonder developers get confused about this object: there are no error messages or warnings that tell us what is going on. Let&#8217;s take a look at an example of this object in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">[object Object] JavaScript Example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take this example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>let objA = {\n name: &quot;christina&quot;,\n degree: &quot;music&quot;,\n instrument: &quot;flute&quot;\n}\n \nalert(objA);<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When the alert() statement runs, our code returns <em>[object Object]<\/em>. Our program tries to return a string representation of what was passed into the alert() method. But, because our code sees this as an object, it tells us that it\u2019s an instance of an Object instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The [object Object] message is not very descriptive. But, this does not mean that we cannot see values in our object. Let&#8217;s talk about the ways in which we can read the values in an object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Inside the Object?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing that [object Object] is an instance of an Object is great, but we want to know is inside the object. There are three ways to do that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Log to console with <em>console.log(&lt;your-object-name&gt;)<\/em><\/li><li>Stringify it with <em>JSON.stringify(&lt;your-object-name&gt;)<\/em><\/li><li>Use <em>for&#8230;in<\/em> loop and look at each individual property<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Log to the Console<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Arguably the easiest way to see what is inside an object is to log the object to the console. The console.log() statement lets you view all of the values in a JavaScript object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the following code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>let objA = {\n\tname: &quot;christina&quot;,\n\tdegree: &quot;music&quot;,\n\tinstrument: &quot;flute&quot;\n}\n\nconsole.log(objA);<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our code declares an object called objA. Then, we print out the value of the object to the console. Our code returns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>{ degree: &quot;music&quot;, instrument: &quot;flute&quot;, name: &quot;christina&quot; }<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We can see the values in our object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use JSON.stringify()<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/javascript-json\/\">JSON.stringify() method<\/a> converts a JavaScript object to a string. We can then manipulate this string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we can use JSON.stringify() to convert an object to a string. Then, we could use alert() to display the value of the string to the user:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>let objA = {\n  name: &quot;christina&quot;,\n  degree: &quot;music&quot;,\n  instrument: &quot;flute&quot;\n}\n\nalert(JSON.stringify(objA));<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Like in our last example, we have defined an object called objA. Then, we use the JSON.stringify() method to convert the object to a string. We then use alert to display the value of the string to the console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our code opens up a prompt box with the following contents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;christina&quot;,&quot;degree&quot;:&quot;music&quot;,&quot;instrument&quot;:&quot;flute&quot;}<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use a for&#8230;in Loop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/javascript-for-loop\/\">JavaScript for&#8230;in loop<\/a> lets us iterate over the contents of an object. We can use this loop to print out each individual key-value pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the following code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>let objA = {\n   name: &quot;christina&quot;,\n   degree: &quot;music&quot;,\n   instrument: &quot;flute&quot;\n}\n\nfor(let key in objA) {\n\tconsole.log(key + &quot;:&quot;, objA[key]);\n}<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We have declared a JSON object called objA like we did in the last two examples. Then, we use a for&#8230;in loop to iterate over the contents of this object. The &#8220;key&#8221; value represents each key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We use the &#8220;key&#8221; value to access the key and objA[key] to access the value associated with that key. Our code returns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>&quot;name:christina&quot;\n&quot;degree:music&quot;\n&quot;instrument:flute&quot;<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We use string concatenation to add a colon (:) between each key and value. This lets us separate the keys and values so they are more readable in the output of our code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The JavaScript [object Object] is a string representation of an object. To see the contents of an object, you should print the object to the console using console.log() or convert the object to a string. Or, you can use a for&#8230;in loop to iterate over the object and see its contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you interested in learning more about JavaScript?
