Dump filter for Vue

🐞 Tiny logger for Vue you can use in templates.

Installation

$ npm i @lucien144/vue-dump-filter

import VueDump from '@lucien144/vue-dump-filter';
Vue.use(VueDump, { production: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' });

Usage

You can use it as a Vue filter: |dump

// component.vue
<template>
	{{ title|dump }}
</template>

Additionally you can use it as a Vue instance method $dump()

// component.vue
<template>
	<input type=text @keyup="$dump">
</template>
<script>
export default {
	methods: {
		login(username) {
			this.$dump(username);
		}
	}
}
</script>

What's the difference between console.log?

1. You can't use console.log in the template section of single file components.
2. When dumping reactive objects using console.log all values are usually hidden behind .... You also output all getters and setters. The $dump dumps plain object:

console.log

this.$dump
