Package Exports

code-stringify

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (code-stringify) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Code-this

Code-this is the node.js module that converts JavaScript variables into source codes.

Unlike JSON.stringify, code-stringify also deals with reference(object) types of variables.

Installation

npm install code-stringify --save

Usage

var code = require('code-stringify');
var a = {a: function(n){return n;}, b: 1, c: 3};

code(a, null, 2); // 1

Expression {1} will return:

'{\n  \'a\': function (n){return n;},\n  \'b\': 1,\n  \'c\': 3\n}'

So you can use code-stringify to save your javascript variables into a file:

require('fs').writeFileSync(
    'output.js',
    'module.exports = ' + code(a, null, 2) + ';';
);

Then 'output.js' will look like:

module.exports = {
  'a': function (n){return n;},
  'b': 1,
  'c': 3
};

code(subject, replacer, space)

subject `mixed`

The subject to be converted

replacer `function(key, value)`

The replacer argument acts just like the second parameter of JSON.stringify.

space `number`

The space argument acts just like the third parameter of JSON.stringify.

Known Issues

Code-this can't deal with recursive objects or arrays SO FAR.
space parameter could not affect the code indent inside functions.
Code-this could not deal with variable scope so far.

Those issues or tasks which should be done to enhance the module might be fixed in the future. Or there will be a million thanks if you fork and contribute ~~
