JavaScript ASCII Library

Output objects' structure in text / ASCII format:

Live text example:

 +- Test
     +- self: Test <recursion>
     +- props: Object
         +- a: 1
         +- b: "hello"
         +- c: true
         +- d: Tue Nov 01 2016 00:24:11 GMT+0000 (GMT)
         +- e: function (a, b, c)
         +- f: Object
             +- foo: Array[3]
             |   +- 0: 1
             |   +- 1: 2
             |   +- 2: 3
             +- bar: Object
                 +- x: 1
                 +- y: 2
                 +- z: 3

Usage

Creating a tree

Load the library, then:

var str = Ascii.tree(object, options)

Options

depth

• Depth to iterate to
• Number
• Defaults to 5

recursive

• Recurse into self-referencing objects
• Boolean
• Defaults to false,

sort

• Alphabetically sort properties
• Boolean
• Defaults to false

group

• Sort by property type
• String
• Valid values 'prop' or 'func'
• Defaults to null

classes

• Lookup table of {name:Class} instances to correctly infer type
• Object
• Defaults to null

Demo

Run the HTML demo to interactively test the library's settings.

WIP

To do:

• Additional iteration options
• Include/exclude options
• Ignore options
• Custom render function
• Custom filter function
• Custom naming function

Planned:

• Table output
