stringify-object

Stringify an object/array like JSON.stringify just without all the double-quotes.

Useful for when you want to get the string representation of an object in a formatted way.

It also handles circular references and lets you specify quote type.

Install

$ npm install --save stringify-object

Usage

var obj = {
	foo: 'bar',
	'arr': [1, 2, 3],
	nested: { hello: "world" }
};

var pretty = stringifyObject(obj, {
	indent: '  ',
	singleQuotes: false
});

console.log(pretty);
/*
{
	foo: "bar",
	arr: [
		1,
		2,
		3
	],
	nested: {
		hello: "world"
	}
}
*/
