How to get documentation in the console

I am trying to find out more about which parameters response.on can take and more information on them (i.e. 'data', 'end'). Is there a way to access this information within the console?

For another example, how would I see the documentation for console.log() in the console?

Joseph Tavinor while it is possible to do it , its a process that would take you longer to complete than just going to the actual MDN page for the relevant information.

If you would still like to do this however here is an article that explains it. https://flaviocopes.com/how-to-list-object-methods-javascript/

Also if your syntax is correctly done and you are using vscode, intellisense should actually give you a list of properties that you can use. If you are not getting anything from your intellisense I suggest googling it to see what your syntax should look like vs what you have. There can be small subtle differences that cause intellisense to not pick up .
