Angular2 json utils. Includes a pipe to replace Angular's built in json pipe which implements spacing, avoids circular references. Also includes a component that will pretty print json with syntax highlight
npm install cs-angular2-prettyjsonA module for Angular 2 debug output of objects. Contains a pipe similar to JsonPipe but adds support for spacing and handling of circular structures.
Also contains a component that outputs any object with syntax highlight.
Warning: just as the JsonPipe, this is an impure pipe and should be used only for debugging purposes.
Breaking change in 3.0.5 The UMD bundle has moved to a "bundle" subdirectory. SymstemJS users should update their system.config. Should not affect AngularCLI and other webpack projects.
``
npm install cs-angular2-prettyjson
Two versions are available: ES2015 modules and UMD. If you are using a project based on the AngularCLI, everything should work from a simple npm install.
If you are using the Angular Quickstart template (or other SystemJS based compilation), please point to the bundle cs-angular2-prettyjson.umd.min.js filesystemjs.config.js
e.g. :
`
map: {
...
// other libraries
'rxjs': 'npm:rxjs',
'cs-angular2-prettyjson': 'npm:cs-angular2-prettyjson'
},
packages: {
...,
'cs-angular2-prettyjson': {
defaultExtension: 'js',
main: './bundles/cs-angular2-prettyjson.umd.min.js'
}
Import PrettyJsonModule to have access to the component and pipes
`js
import {PrettyJsonModule} from 'cs-angular2-prettyjson';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent,
],
imports: [
PrettyJsonModule,
],
providers: [
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}
`
The SafeJsonPipe aims to override the JsonPipe and so uses the same name "json". It also accepts an optional argument spaces=2 for the JSON stringify spacing.
`js
@Component({
....
template:
{{ circularObj | json }}
{{ circularObj | json:4 }}
// make sure to use a surrounding element with white-space: pre; for best results
})
...
`outputs
2 spaces (default):
4 spaces:
$3
The
stringifies the object and then adds spans around properties, null, arrays etc. You can bind it to the innerHtml of other elements.`js@Component({
....
template:
})
...
A good set of styles to use is
css
pre span {white-space: normal;}
.string { color: green; }
.number { color: darkorange; }
.boolean { color: blue; }
.null { color: magenta; }
.key { color: red; }
` If you wish to use the
property of the parent component, please prefix each class selector with :host /deep/
e.g.
js@Component({
....
template:
,
styles: [:host /deep/ .string {color:green} ...]
})
...
` See output under component below.
$3
Creates a
element into which the Pretty Json pipe'd object is dumped as HTML. Takes care of styling. Takes an input
[obj] that can be data bound to any object. Make sure
PrettyJsonModule is imported in your own module.`js@Component({
....
template:
})
export class MyComponent {
ngOnInit() {
this.theForm = this.formBuilder.group({
...
outputs
