console: groupCollapsed() static method

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The console.groupCollapsed() static method creates a new inline group in the console. Unlike console.group(), however, the new group is created collapsed. The user will need to use the disclosure button next to it to expand it, revealing the entries created in the group.

Call console.groupEnd() to back out to the parent group.

See Using groups in the console in the console documentation for details and examples.

Syntax

js
console.groupCollapsed()
console.groupCollapsed(label)
