I totally agree with Emma, but sometimes you may need more control over how the object is represented. In those cases, javascript convert object to string with a custom function can be a great solution. Here’s one way you can format it however you want:

function objectToString(obj) {
    return Object.entries(obj)
        .map(([key, value]) => `${key}: ${value}`)
        .join(', ');
}

var o = { a: 1, b: 2 };
console.log('Item: ' + objectToString(o));  // Output: Item: a: 1, b: 2

This approach is super useful when you’re dealing with custom labels or log entries that need a specific format. It’s more flexible than JSON.stringify() and allows you to define your own style for the string.
