console: clear() static method

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The console.clear() static method clears the console if possible.

A graphical console, like those in web browsers, will remove all previous messages; a console displaying on a terminal, like the one in Node.js, will attempt to clear it using an escape code or system API; otherwise the method will have no effect (and no error).

Syntax

js
console.clear()

None.
