# pretty-format
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> Stringify any JavaScript value.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Supports all built-in JavaScript types
 | 
						|
  - primitive types: `Boolean`, `null`, `Number`, `String`, `Symbol`, `undefined`
 | 
						|
  - other non-collection types: `Date`, `Error`, `Function`, `RegExp`
 | 
						|
  - collection types:
 | 
						|
    - `arguments`, `Array`, `ArrayBuffer`, `DataView`, `Float32Array`, `Float64Array`, `Int8Array`, `Int16Array`, `Int32Array`, `Uint8Array`, `Uint8ClampedArray`, `Uint16Array`, `Uint32Array`,
 | 
						|
    - `Map`, `Set`, `WeakMap`, `WeakSet`
 | 
						|
    - `Object`
 | 
						|
- [Blazingly fast](https://gist.github.com/thejameskyle/2b04ffe4941aafa8f970de077843a8fd)
 | 
						|
  - similar performance to `JSON.stringify` in v8
 | 
						|
  - significantly faster than `util.format` in Node.js
 | 
						|
- Serialize application-specific data types with built-in or user-defined plugins
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Installation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
$ yarn add pretty-format
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const prettyFormat = require('pretty-format'); // CommonJS
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
import prettyFormat from 'pretty-format'; // ES2015 modules
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const val = {object: {}};
 | 
						|
val.circularReference = val;
 | 
						|
val[Symbol('foo')] = 'foo';
 | 
						|
val.map = new Map([['prop', 'value']]);
 | 
						|
val.array = [-0, Infinity, NaN];
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(prettyFormat(val));
 | 
						|
/*
 | 
						|
Object {
 | 
						|
  "array": Array [
 | 
						|
    -0,
 | 
						|
    Infinity,
 | 
						|
    NaN,
 | 
						|
  ],
 | 
						|
  "circularReference": [Circular],
 | 
						|
  "map": Map {
 | 
						|
    "prop" => "value",
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  "object": Object {},
 | 
						|
  Symbol(foo): "foo",
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
*/
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage with options
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
function onClick() {}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(prettyFormat(onClick));
 | 
						|
/*
 | 
						|
[Function onClick]
 | 
						|
*/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const options = {
 | 
						|
  printFunctionName: false,
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
console.log(prettyFormat(onClick, options));
 | 
						|
/*
 | 
						|
[Function]
 | 
						|
*/
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
| key                 | type      | default    | description                                             |
 | 
						|
| :------------------ | :-------- | :--------- | :------------------------------------------------------ |
 | 
						|
| `callToJSON`        | `boolean` | `true`     | call `toJSON` method (if it exists) on objects          |
 | 
						|
| `escapeRegex`       | `boolean` | `false`    | escape special characters in regular expressions        |
 | 
						|
| `escapeString`      | `boolean` | `true`     | escape special characters in strings                    |
 | 
						|
| `highlight`         | `boolean` | `false`    | highlight syntax with colors in terminal (some plugins) |
 | 
						|
| `indent`            | `number`  | `2`        | spaces in each level of indentation                     |
 | 
						|
| `maxDepth`          | `number`  | `Infinity` | levels to print in arrays, objects, elements, and so on |
 | 
						|
| `min`               | `boolean` | `false`    | minimize added space: no indentation nor line breaks    |
 | 
						|
| `plugins`           | `array`   | `[]`       | plugins to serialize application-specific data types    |
 | 
						|
| `printFunctionName` | `boolean` | `true`     | include or omit the name of a function                  |
 | 
						|
| `theme`             | `object`  |            | colors to highlight syntax in terminal                  |
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Property values of `theme` are from [ansi-styles colors](https://github.com/chalk/ansi-styles#colors)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const DEFAULT_THEME = {
 | 
						|
  comment: 'gray',
 | 
						|
  content: 'reset',
 | 
						|
  prop: 'yellow',
 | 
						|
  tag: 'cyan',
 | 
						|
  value: 'green',
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage with plugins
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The `pretty-format` package provides some built-in plugins, including:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `ReactElement` for elements from `react`
 | 
						|
- `ReactTestComponent` for test objects from `react-test-renderer`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// CommonJS
 | 
						|
const prettyFormat = require('pretty-format');
 | 
						|
const ReactElement = prettyFormat.plugins.ReactElement;
 | 
						|
const ReactTestComponent = prettyFormat.plugins.ReactTestComponent;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const React = require('react');
 | 
						|
const renderer = require('react-test-renderer');
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// ES2015 modules and destructuring assignment
 | 
						|
import prettyFormat from 'pretty-format';
 | 
						|
const {ReactElement, ReactTestComponent} = prettyFormat.plugins;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
import React from 'react';
 | 
						|
import renderer from 'react-test-renderer';
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const onClick = () => {};
 | 
						|
const element = React.createElement('button', {onClick}, 'Hello World');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const formatted1 = prettyFormat(element, {
 | 
						|
  plugins: [ReactElement],
 | 
						|
  printFunctionName: false,
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
const formatted2 = prettyFormat(renderer.create(element).toJSON(), {
 | 
						|
  plugins: [ReactTestComponent],
 | 
						|
  printFunctionName: false,
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
/*
 | 
						|
<button
 | 
						|
  onClick=[Function]
 | 
						|
>
 | 
						|
  Hello World
 | 
						|
</button>
 | 
						|
*/
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage in Jest
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For snapshot tests, Jest uses `pretty-format` with options that include some of its built-in plugins. For this purpose, plugins are also known as **snapshot serializers**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To serialize application-specific data types, you can add modules to `devDependencies` of a project, and then:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In an **individual** test file, you can add a module as follows. It precedes any modules from Jest configuration.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
import serializer from 'my-serializer-module';
 | 
						|
expect.addSnapshotSerializer(serializer);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// tests which have `expect(value).toMatchSnapshot()` assertions
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For **all** test files, you can specify modules in Jest configuration. They precede built-in plugins for React, HTML, and Immutable.js data types. For example, in a `package.json` file:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```json
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
  "jest": {
 | 
						|
    "snapshotSerializers": ["my-serializer-module"]
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Writing plugins
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A plugin is a JavaScript object.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If `options` has a `plugins` array: for the first plugin whose `test(val)` method returns a truthy value, then `prettyFormat(val, options)` returns the result from either:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `serialize(val, …)` method of the **improved** interface (available in **version 21** or later)
 | 
						|
- `print(val, …)` method of the **original** interface (if plugin does not have `serialize` method)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### test
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Write `test` so it can receive `val` argument of any type. To serialize **objects** which have certain properties, then a guarded expression like `val != null && …` or more concise `val && …` prevents the following errors:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `TypeError: Cannot read property 'whatever' of null`
 | 
						|
- `TypeError: Cannot read property 'whatever' of undefined`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For example, `test` method of built-in `ReactElement` plugin:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const elementSymbol = Symbol.for('react.element');
 | 
						|
const test = val => val && val.$$typeof === elementSymbol;
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Pay attention to efficiency in `test` because `pretty-format` calls it often.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### serialize
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The **improved** interface is available in **version 21** or later.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Write `serialize` to return a string, given the arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `val` which “passed the test”
 | 
						|
- unchanging `config` object: derived from `options`
 | 
						|
- current `indentation` string: concatenate to `indent` from `config`
 | 
						|
- current `depth` number: compare to `maxDepth` from `config`
 | 
						|
- current `refs` array: find circular references in objects
 | 
						|
- `printer` callback function: serialize children
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### config
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
| key                 | type      | description                                             |
 | 
						|
| :------------------ | :-------- | :------------------------------------------------------ |
 | 
						|
| `callToJSON`        | `boolean` | call `toJSON` method (if it exists) on objects          |
 | 
						|
| `colors`            | `Object`  | escape codes for colors to highlight syntax             |
 | 
						|
| `escapeRegex`       | `boolean` | escape special characters in regular expressions        |
 | 
						|
| `escapeString`      | `boolean` | escape special characters in strings                    |
 | 
						|
| `indent`            | `string`  | spaces in each level of indentation                     |
 | 
						|
| `maxDepth`          | `number`  | levels to print in arrays, objects, elements, and so on |
 | 
						|
| `min`               | `boolean` | minimize added space: no indentation nor line breaks    |
 | 
						|
| `plugins`           | `array`   | plugins to serialize application-specific data types    |
 | 
						|
| `printFunctionName` | `boolean` | include or omit the name of a function                  |
 | 
						|
| `spacingInner`      | `strong`  | spacing to separate items in a list                     |
 | 
						|
| `spacingOuter`      | `strong`  | spacing to enclose a list of items                      |
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Each property of `colors` in `config` corresponds to a property of `theme` in `options`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- the key is the same (for example, `tag`)
 | 
						|
- the value in `colors` is a object with `open` and `close` properties whose values are escape codes from [ansi-styles](https://github.com/chalk/ansi-styles) for the color value in `theme` (for example, `'cyan'`)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Some properties in `config` are derived from `min` in `options`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `spacingInner` and `spacingOuter` are **newline** if `min` is `false`
 | 
						|
- `spacingInner` is **space** and `spacingOuter` is **empty string** if `min` is `true`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Example of serialize and test
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This plugin is a pattern you can apply to serialize composite data types. Of course, `pretty-format` does not need a plugin to serialize arrays :)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// We reused more code when we factored out a function for child items
 | 
						|
// that is independent of depth, name, and enclosing punctuation (see below).
 | 
						|
const SEPARATOR = ',';
 | 
						|
function serializeItems(items, config, indentation, depth, refs, printer) {
 | 
						|
  if (items.length === 0) {
 | 
						|
    return '';
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
  const indentationItems = indentation + config.indent;
 | 
						|
  return (
 | 
						|
    config.spacingOuter +
 | 
						|
    items
 | 
						|
      .map(
 | 
						|
        item =>
 | 
						|
          indentationItems +
 | 
						|
          printer(item, config, indentationItems, depth, refs), // callback
 | 
						|
      )
 | 
						|
      .join(SEPARATOR + config.spacingInner) +
 | 
						|
    (config.min ? '' : SEPARATOR) + // following the last item
 | 
						|
    config.spacingOuter +
 | 
						|
    indentation
 | 
						|
  );
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const plugin = {
 | 
						|
  test(val) {
 | 
						|
    return Array.isArray(val);
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  serialize(array, config, indentation, depth, refs, printer) {
 | 
						|
    const name = array.constructor.name;
 | 
						|
    return ++depth > config.maxDepth
 | 
						|
      ? '[' + name + ']'
 | 
						|
      : (config.min ? '' : name + ' ') +
 | 
						|
          '[' +
 | 
						|
          serializeItems(array, config, indentation, depth, refs, printer) +
 | 
						|
          ']';
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 |

```js
 |

```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### print
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The **original** interface is adequate for plugins:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- that **do not** depend on options other than `highlight` or `min`
 | 
						|
- that **do not** depend on `depth` or `refs` in recursive traversal, and
 | 
						|
- if values either
 | 
						|
  - do **not** require indentation, or
 | 
						|
  - do **not** occur as children of JavaScript data structures (for example, array)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Write `print` to return a string, given the arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `val` which “passed the test”
 | 
						|
- current `printer(valChild)` callback function: serialize children
 | 
						|
- current `indenter(lines)` callback function: indent lines at the next level
 | 
						|
- unchanging `config` object: derived from `options`
 | 
						|
- unchanging `colors` object: derived from `options`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The 3 properties of `config` are `min` in `options` and:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `spacing` and `edgeSpacing` are **newline** if `min` is `false`
 | 
						|
- `spacing` is **space** and `edgeSpacing` is **empty string** if `min` is `true`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Each property of `colors` corresponds to a property of `theme` in `options`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- the key is the same (for example, `tag`)
 | 
						|
- the value in `colors` is a object with `open` and `close` properties whose values are escape codes from [ansi-styles](https://github.com/chalk/ansi-styles) for the color value in `theme` (for example, `'cyan'`)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Example of print and test
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This plugin prints functions with the **number of named arguments** excluding rest argument.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const plugin = {
 | 
						|
  print(val) {
 | 
						|
    return `[Function ${val.name || 'anonymous'} ${val.length}]`;
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  test(val) {
 | 
						|
    return typeof val === 'function';
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const val = {
 | 
						|
  onClick(event) {},
 | 
						|
  render() {},
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
prettyFormat(val, {
 | 
						|
  plugins: [plugin],
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
/*
 | 
						|
Object {
 | 
						|
  "onClick": [Function onClick 1],
 | 
						|
  "render": [Function render 0],
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
*/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
prettyFormat(val);
 | 
						|
/*
 |

This plugin **ignores** the `printFunctionName` option. That limitation of the original `print` interface is a reason to use the improved `serialize` interface, described above.

```js
 | 
						|
prettyFormat(val, {
 | 
						|
  plugins: [pluginOld],
 | 
						|
  printFunctionName: false,
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
/*
 | 
						|
Object {
 | 
						|
  "onClick": [Function onClick 1],
 | 
						|
  "render": [Function render 0],
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
*/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
prettyFormat(val, {
 | 
						|
  printFunctionName: false,
 | 
						|
});
 |

/*
 |

Object {
 |

  "onClick": [Function],

  "render": [Function],
