Introduction to Console.log in Shopify Flow

Shopify Flow now supports the use of console.log in its Run Code action. This enhancement allows developers to debug JavaScript code more efficiently by providing real-time insights into their workflows.

Benefits of Using Console.log

With console.log, you can log useful information during workflow execution. For instance:

  • Debugging becomes simpler by printing variables, resources, or custom messages to the workflow run log.
  • Developers gain better visibility into how their code interacts with Shopify resources.

Example Usage

Here’s a basic example of how to use console.log:

  • console.log("foo", order) will print the text foo and the order resource to the workflow run log during execution.

Additional Information and Limitations

While console.log is a powerful tool, it does have some limitations. Refer to the Run Code documentation for detailed information about its functionality and restrictions.
