I'm using a lot console.log for debugging purpose. When I log long objects, it is difficult to read the complete object. Is there a console.pretty or something to print the data in a pretty way?
Actual (logs inline):
{data:'data',data1:'data1'}
Expect:
{
data:'data',
data1:'data1'
}
You can use JSON.stringify.
The third parameter passed will be the number of spaces to indent the members.
var obj = {
data: 'data',
data1: 'data1'
};
console.log(JSON.stringify(obj, 0, 2));If you need this more often, you can also define a function on window object
// Define on global window object
window.console.prettyPrint = function() {
// Loop over arguments, so any number of objects can be passed
for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(arguments[i], 0, 2));
}
};
var obj = {
data: 'data',
data1: 'data1'
};
var myObj = {
hello: 'World!'
};
console.prettyPrint(obj, myObj);
