npm install dump-dieCalling dd will print the object in your terminal and kill the process.
const dd = require('dump-die')
let myObject = {
foo: 'bar',
baz: function() {
return 'Hi'
}
}Outputs:
{ foo: 'bar',
baz:
{ [Function]
[length]: 0,
[name]: '',
[prototype]: { [constructor]: [Circular] } } }
You can dump any amount of objects.
let foo = 'bar', hodor = { hodor: 'hodor' }
dd(foo, baz, hodor)Outputs:
'bar'
{ hodor: 'hodor' }
If you don't want to kill the process, you can require the inspect function (which is a simple wrapper around node.js' util.inspect)
const inspect = require('dump-die/lib/inspect')
inspect({ foo: 'bar' }) // => '{ foo: \u001b[32m\'bar\'\u001b[39m }'You can run the tests (ESLint & Mocha) with:
npm run testPlease see CONTRIBUTING for details.
