Hi Emi,

To open the console in the browser (assuming you're following along in Google Chrome) use Ctrl + J shortcut. That'll give you access to the console tab. Later all when you download the extension you'll get the React tab as well which will allow you to analyse props and state.

If you're using the Terminal/Console in VS Code, you can open it using the Terminal menu, ---> New Terminal.

At new terminal, I just see powershell and bash. What should I do ?

Open the browser console "how to"

  1. Video screen ==> "Launch workspace"
  2. Go to app.js file write this code and save:
const title = React.createElement(
  'h1',
  { id: 'main-title', title: 'This is a title.'},
  'hello my first react'
);

console.log(title);

Preview workspace

  1. workspace-Top right-corner click on the eye-icon (Preview workspace)
  2. Browser (chrome in my case) - right-click --> inspect (Or: ctrl + shift + i)
  3. Go to the console tab (The output):
