Console.assert

assert(condition?: boolean, ...data: any[]): void

assert(value: any, message?: string, ...optionalParams: any[]): void

console.assert() writes a message if value is falsy or omitted. It only writes a message and does not otherwise affect execution. The output always starts with "Assertion failed". If provided, message is formatted using util.format().

If value is truthy, nothing happens.

console.assert(true, 'does nothing');

console.assert(false, 'Whoops %s work', 'didn\'t');
// Assertion failed: Whoops didn't work

console.assert();
// Assertion failed

@param value
