How do I output debug messages?

I can wrote a console.log() in a script in a function to push messages to the console, but is there a more proper way of doing it?

For purely testing projects I use a text-box and append messages to it. Not good for the real thing though.

'more proper way of doing it' meaning what? 'the real thing' meaning what?

By 'proper' I mean best practice, and by 'the real thing' I mean the difference between something I write to see how something works for my own consumption compared to something that isn't for my consumption.

If I was writing an application, I'd build in various bits that I can get diagnostics from, for example in Windows world I might write to the Event Log, or to the Trace output or maybe to the console if it has a console.

Is console.log the preferred mechanism with an application written with Construct 3, or do people tend to build a bespoke debugging mode, maybe with a a text box displaying?

Browser log is the most useful
