dump-die

dump-die

Dump an object and kill the process in node.js for quick debugging. Based on Laravel's dd() function.

Installation

npm install dump-die

Usage

Calling 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 }'

Testing

You can run the tests (ESLint & Mocha) with:

npm run test
