eyes
|
||||
====
|
||||
|
||||
a customizable value inspector for Node.js
|
||||
|
||||
synopsis
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
I was tired of looking at cluttered output in the console -- something needed to be done,
|
||||
`sys.inspect()` didn't display regexps correctly, and was too verbose, and I had an hour or two to spare.
|
||||
So I decided to have some fun. _eyes_ were born.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
_example of the output of a user-customized eyes.js inspector_
|
||||
|
||||
*eyes* also deals with circular objects in an intelligent way, and can pretty-print object literals.
|
||||
|
||||
usage
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
var inspect = require('eyes').inspector({styles: {all: 'magenta'}});
|
||||
|
||||
inspect(something); // inspect with the settings passed to `inspector`
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
var eyes = require('eyes');
|
||||
|
||||
eyes.inspect(something); // inspect with the default settings
|
||||
|
||||
you can pass a _label_ to `inspect()`, to keep track of your inspections:
|
||||
|
||||
eyes.inspect(something, "a random value");
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to return the output of eyes without printing it, you can set it up this way:
|
||||
|
||||
var inspect = require('eyes').inspector({ stream: null });
|
||||
|
||||
sys.puts(inspect({ something: 42 }));
|
||||
|
||||
customization
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
These are the default styles and settings used by _eyes_.
|
||||
|
||||
styles: { // Styles applied to stdout
|
||||
all: 'cyan', // Overall style applied to everything
|
||||
label: 'underline', // Inspection labels, like 'array' in `array: [1, 2, 3]`
|
||||
other: 'inverted', // Objects which don't have a literal representation, such as functions
|
||||
key: 'bold', // The keys in object literals, like 'a' in `{a: 1}`
|
||||
special: 'grey', // null, undefined...
|
||||
string: 'green',
|
||||
number: 'magenta',
|
||||
bool: 'blue', // true false
|
||||
regexp: 'green', // /\d+/
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
pretty: true, // Indent object literals
|
||||
hideFunctions: false, // Don't output functions at all
|
||||
stream: process.stdout, // Stream to write to, or null
|
||||
maxLength: 2048 // Truncate output if longer
|
||||
|
||||
You can overwrite them with your own, by passing a similar object to `inspector()` or `inspect()`.
|
||||
|
||||
var inspect = require('eyes').inspector({
|
||||
styles: {
|
||||
all: 'magenta',
|
||||
special: 'bold'
|
||||
},
|
||||
maxLength: 512
|
||||
});
