How can I get the full object in Node.js's console.log(), rather than '[Object]'?

Question

When debugging using console.log(), how can I get the full object?

const myObject = {
   \"a\":\"a\",
   \"b\":{
      \"c\":\"c\",
      \"d\":

JSON.stringify()

let myVar = {a: {b: {c: 1}}};
console.log(JSON.stringify( myVar, null, 4 ))

Great for deep inspection of data objects. This approach works on nested arrays and nested objects with arrays.
