pretty-format

Stringify any JavaScript value.

Supports all built-in JavaScript types
Blazingly fast (similar performance to v8's JSON.stringify and significantly faster than Node's util.format)
Plugin system for extending with custom types (i.e. ReactTestComponent)

Installation

$ npm install pretty-format

Usage

var prettyFormat = require('pretty-format');

var obj = { property: {} };
obj.circularReference = obj;
obj[Symbol('foo')] = 'foo';
obj.map = new Map();
obj.map.set('prop', 'value');
obj.array = [1, NaN, Infinity];

console.log(prettyFormat(obj));

Result:

Object {
  "property": Object {},
  "circularReference": [Circular],
  "map": Map {
    "prop" => "value"
  },
  "array": Array [
    1,
    NaN,
    Infinity
  ],
  Symbol(foo): "foo"
}

Type Support

Object, Array, ArrayBuffer, DataView, Float32Array, Float64Array, Int8Array, Int16Array, Int32Array, Uint8Array, Uint8ClampedArray, Uint16Array, Uint32Array, arguments, Boolean, Date, Error, Function, Infinity, Map, NaN, null, Number, RegExp, Set, String, Symbol, undefined, WeakMap, WeakSet

Plugins

Pretty format also supports adding plugins:

var fooPlugin = {
  test: function(val) {
    return val && val.hasOwnProperty('foo');
  },
  print: function(val, print, indent) {
    return 'Foo: ' + print(val.foo);
  }
};

var obj = { foo: { bar: {} } };

prettyFormat(obj, {
  plugins: [fooPlugin]
});
// Foo: Object {
//   "bar": Object {}
// }

`ReactTestComponent` plugin

var prettyFormat = require('pretty-format');
var reactPlugin = require('pretty-format/plugins/ReactTestComponent');

var React = require('react');
var renderer = require('react/lib/ReactTestRenderer');

var jsx = React.createElement('h1', null, 'Hello World');

prettyFormat(renderer.create(jsx).toJSON(), {
  plugins: [reactPlugin]
});
// <h1>
//   Hello World
// </h1>
