Javascript: view object in console

I have an object with deeply nested properties.

Here is the result of console.log(myObject) in Chrome. enter image description here

But the result of console.log(myObject.schedules) is {}.

When I JSON.stringify the original object the result is {"schedules":{}}, which I find really confusing. As you see above, its logging a lot more than just that.

Any idea what the problem is?

The problem is that my object was being created via an asynch method call. So, at the point I was console.log() and JSON.stringify(), the object was not done being created.

Do console.dir(myObject) instead.

console.dir() displays an interactive list of the properties of the specified JavaScript object. The output is presented as a hierarchical listing with disclosure triangles that let you see the contents of child objects.
