Heavy Duty Object -> ASCII

render(object,options)

options is a {} of functions which define how a particular type is stringified.

(see render.js and test/*.js for examples)

these functions are:

value // display a primitive value
key // display a key (on an object, but not an array)
join // join a list object key->value strings into one string (default joins with ','s
surround // puts the brackets on {} or [] 
referenced // when a object is repeated later (default: varX={...})
reference // when a object is a repeat (varX

string // stringify string (useful if you want to handle multi line strings a special way

Renderer function args#

function(value, traverserProperties, default)

value is the item to be renderer, traverserProperties if information about current place in the tree/graph (see https://github.com/dominictarr/traverser) default is the default rendering function for this item.

Layout Control#

also, padding around certain items can be changed by setting the following values of options:

indent: '' //indentation applied to each line after the first when something renders to a string with multiple lines.
, joiner: ', ' // string to join arrays and objects
, pad: '' 
, padKey: ' ' //padding after the ':'
, padSingle: ['', ''] //padding around a single value
, padJoin: [' ', ' '] //padding around a join (but inside the brackets)
, padMulti: ['', ''] //padding around an object or Array when it goes over multiple lines
, padRoot: ['', ''] //padding around the root object (only applied if it's multi lined)

examples, by adjusting these settings you can display an object in many different styles:
