node js overriding toString

node.js

Solution

Came across this on google before finding an answer I liked, here is what I ended up doing:

You can use `inspect` and v8(chrome/nodejs) will use that from console.log() calls:

function Foo() {}

Foo.prototype.inspect = function() {
  return "[object Foo]";
}

console.log(new Foo());

Problem

I am trying to override the default toString method for my objects, Here is the code and the problem: ``` function test (){ this.code = 0;//later on I will set these this.name = ""; } test.prototype.toString= function(){ return this.name + "\t"+ this.code +" \t "+this.anotherFunction(); } console.log (Lion.toString()); //works correct i.e. calls my function console.log (Lion); //doesn't call my function. Prints { code: 0, name: 'jack' } ``` doesn't toString get called by default?
