how to use `console.log` so I can debug my code?

Question

When I click on the Login button tried to make go to the Login Form page but right now it's not doing anything and I cannot figure how to use console.log so I can debug my code.

Here a Video of my code

This homepage where Navigation is live and all the other components that will be displaying.

import React, { Component } from "react"
import history from '../history';
import Navigation from '../../layouts/navigation';

export default class Home extends Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    history.push('/home');
  }

  showLoginBox() {
    this.setState({isLoginOpen: true, isRegisterOpen: false});
  }

  showRegisterBox() {
    this.setState({isRegisterOpen: true, isLoginOpen: false});
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div id="home">
          <Navigation showRegisterBox={this.showRegisterBox.bind(this)} showLoginBox={this.showLoginBox.bind(this)}/>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

This is where the form is going to live at:

import React from 'react';
import RegisterBox from '../Forms/Register'
import LoginBox from '../Forms/Login'


// This is the page for form to live on
class App extends React.Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      isLoginOpen: true,
      isRegisterOpen: false
    };
  }

    render() {
        return (
          <div>
            <div className="root-container">
                {this.state.isLoginOpen && <LoginBox/>}
                {this.state.isRegisterOpen && <RegisterBox/>}
            </div>
          </div>
        )
    }
}

export default App;

This is where Navigation buttons of Login and Sign up is live

import React from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Link } from 'react-router-dom';
import "../components/pages/Forms/MainScreen";
import Dropdown from "../components//pages/dropdowns/dropdowns"; 
import hamburger from "../images/menu.svg"


class Navigation extends React.Component {

    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {
            isExpanded: false
        };
    }

    handleToggle(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        this.setState(prevState => ({
          isExpanded: !prevState.isExpanded, // negate the previous expanded state
        }));
      }

    showLoginBox() {
        this.setState({isLoginOpen: true, isRegisterOpen: false}); // The Logic form will show when the users click the login button
    }

    showRegisterBox() {
        this.setState({isRegisterOpen: true, isLoginOpen: false}); // The Signup form will show when the users click the login button
    }

    render() {

        const { isExpanded } = this.state;

      return (
          <Router>
              <div className="NavbarContainer">
                  <div className="mobilecontainer LeftNav">
                      <h2 className="BrandName LeftNav mobileboxmenu inline FarRight">Kommonplaces</h2>
                      <div className="hamburger inlinev" >
                          <img 
                            onClick={e => this.handleToggle(e)}
                            alt="menubtn" 
                            src={hamburger}
                          />
                      </div>
                  </div>


                  <ul className={`NavBar collapsed ${isExpanded ? "is-expanded" : ""}`}>
                        <Dropdown/>    
                        <li className="RightNav"><Link to="/">Host Your Space</Link></li>
                        <li className="RightNav"><Link to="/">About Us</Link></li>
                        <li className="RightNav"><Link to="/">Contact Us</Link></li>
                        <div className="btnflexright">
                        <button
                            className={"controller " + (this.state.isLoginOpen
                            ? "selected-controller"
                            : "")}
                            onClick={this
                            .props
                            .showLoginBox}>
                            Login
                        </button>

                        <button
                            className={"controller " + (this.state.isRegisterOpen
                            ? "selected-controller"
                            : "")}
                            onClick={this
                            .props
                            .showRegisterBox}>
                            Sign up
                        </button>
                        </div>
                  </ul>
               </div>
         </Router>
      );
    }
}

  export default Navigation;

This one my code for forms but of them all the same:

//Login Box 
import React from 'react';

class LoginBox extends React.Component {

    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {};
    }

      render() {
          return (
            <div>
                <div className="formContent modal-main">
                    <h2>Welcome Back <span>Brandon!</span></h2>
                    <form>

You can console any where inside component except inside returning jsx and if you want inside jsx that is also possible like this

return(
 <>
  {console.log('inside return')}
 <>
)

inside render

render(){
  console.log('Inside return')
   return(
     <>
      Hello 
     <>
    )
}

inside constructor

constructor(props){
 super(props)
 console.log('Inside constructor')
}

inside your login function

showLoginBox() {
   console.log('login function clicked');
   this.setState({isLoginOpen: true, isRegisterOpen: false}); 
}
