How do I use console.table but to stderr?

Question

I find that console.table() is good, in a few cases, for error messages. However, it doesn't print to stderr. How do I print console.table to stderr in Node.js?

Answer 1

In Node.js, one can instantiate a custom Console instance with a different writable stream than stdout using the console module, e.g.:

const { Console } = require("console");
const console = new Console(process.stderr);

This would have any method that typically uses stdout, including table(), use stderr instead.
