What is loupe?

Loupe turns the object you give it into a string. It's similar to Node.js' util.inspect() function, but it works cross platform, in most modern browsers as well as Node.

Installation

Node.js

loupe is available on npm. To install it, type:

$ npm install loupe

Browsers

You can also use it within the browser; install via npm and use the loupe.js file found within the download. For example:

<script src="./node_modules/loupe/loupe.js"></script>

Usage

const { inspect } = require('loupe');

inspect({ foo: 'bar' }); // => "{ foo: 'bar' }"
inspect(1); // => '1'
inspect('foo'); // => "'foo'"
inspect([ 1, 2, 3 ]); // => '[ 1, 2, 3 ]'
inspect(/Test/g); // => '/Test/g'

// ...

Tests

$ npm test

Coverage:

$ npm run upload-coverage
