> Stringify is to `eval` as `JSON.stringify` is to `JSON.parse`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
npm install javascript-stringify --save
|
||
|
|
bower install javascript-stringify --save
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Node
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
var javascriptStringify = require('javascript-stringify');
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### AMD
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
define(function (require, exports, module) {
|
||
|
|
var javascriptStringify = require('javascript-stringify');
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `<script>` tag
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```html
|
||
|
|
<script src="javascript-stringify.js"></script>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify(value[, replacer [, space [, options]]])
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The API is similar to `JSON.stringify`. However, any value returned by the replacer will be used literally. For this reason, the replacer is passed three arguments - `value`, `indentation` and `stringify`. If you need to continue the stringification process inside your replacer, you can call `stringify(value)` with the new value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `options` object allows some additional configuration:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* **maxDepth** _(number, default: 100)_ The maximum depth of values to stringify
|
||
|
|
* **maxValues** _(number, default: 100000)_ The maximum number of values to stringify
|
||
|
|
* **references** _(boolean, default: false)_ Restore circular/repeated references in the object (uses IIFE)
|
||
|
|
* **skipUndefinedProperties** _(boolean, default: false)_ Omits `undefined` properties instead of restoring as `undefined`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify({}); // "{}"
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify(true); // "true"
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify('foo'); // "'foo'"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify({ x: 5, y: 6}); // "{x:5,y:6}"
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify([1, 2, 3, 'string']); // "[1,2,3,'string']"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify({ a: { b: { c: 1 } } }, null, null, { maxDepth: 2 }); // "{a:{b:{}}}"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* Invalid key names are automatically stringified.
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify({ 'some-key': 10 }); // "{'some-key':10}"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* Some object types and values can remain identical.
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify([/.+/ig, new Number(10), new Date()]); // "[/.+/gi,new Number(10),new Date(1406623295732)]"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* Unknown or circular references are removed.
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var obj = { x: 10 };
|
||
|
|
obj.circular = obj;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify(obj); // "{x:10}"
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify(obj, null, null, { references: true }); // "(function(){var x={x:10};x.circular=x;return x;}())"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* Specify indentation - just like `JSON.stringify`.
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify({ a: 2 }, null, ' '); // "{\n a: 2\n}"
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify({ uno: 1, dos : 2 }, null, '\t'); // "{\n\tuno: 1,\n\tdos: 2\n}"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* Add custom replacer behaviour - like double quoted strings.
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
javascriptStringify(['test', 'string'], function (value, indent, stringify) {
|
||
|
|
if (typeof value === 'string') {
|
||
|
|
return '"' + value.replace(/"/g, '\\"') + '"';
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
return stringify(value);
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
//=> '["test","string"]'
|
||
|
