json-stringify-nice
Stringify an object sorting scalars before objects, and defaulting to
2-space indent.
Sometimes you want to stringify an object in a consistent way, and for
human legibility reasons, you may want to put any non-object properties
ahead of any object properties, so that it's easier to track the nesting
level as you read through the object, but you don't want to have to be
meticulous about maintaining object property order as you're building up
the object, since it doesn't matter in code, it only matters in the output
file. Also, it'd be nice to have it default to reasonable spacing without
having to remember to add , null, 2)
to all your JSON.stringify()
calls.
If that is what you want, then this module is for you, because it does
all of that.
USAGE
const stringify = require('json-stringify-nice')
const obj = {
z: 1,
y: 'z',
obj: { a: {}, b: 'x' },
a: { b: 1, a: { nested: true} },
yy: 'a',
}
console.log(stringify(obj))
console.log(stringify(obj, ['z', 'yy', 'obj']))
const replacer = (key, val) =>
key === 'a' ? { hello: '📞 yes', 'this is': '🐕', ...val } : val
console.log(stringify(obj, replacer, '📞🐶'))
