Turns every JavaScript object or primitive into valid source code.
npm install toSrctoSrc 
========
**Turns every JavaScript object or primitive into valid source
code that can be evaled again.**
You can use it to serialize classes, modules or other programming objects
and reuse them in an other environment such as a browser. JSON.stringify doesnt work with programming objects (that contain functions, dates, etc.) because they're no legal JSONs.
Installation
------------
npm install toSrc
Examples
-----
``javascript
`
var toSrc = require("toSrc");
// Primitives
///////////////////////////////////////
toSrc(1); // = '1'
toSrc(true); // = 'true'
toSrc(undefined); // = 'undefined'
tOSrc(null); // = null
toSrc("1"); // = '"1"'
toSrc('1'); // = '"1"' toSrc always uses double-quotes
// Constants
///////////////////////////////////////
toSrc(Math.PI); // = 'Math.PI'
toSrc(NaN); // = 'NaN'
// RegExp
///////////////////////////////////////
toSrc(/myRegEx/gi); // = '/myRegEx/gi'
toSrc(new RegExp("myRegEx")); // = '/myRegEx/'
// Date
///////////////////////////////////////
toSrc(new Date()); // = 'new Date(
// Functions
///////////////////////////////////////
function testFunc() {
var test = "hello";
}
toSrc(testFunc); // = 'function testFunc() {\n var test = "hello";\n}'
toSrc(String); // = 'String', native functions don't expose the source code
// Arrays
///////////////////////////////////////
toSrc([1, 2, "3"]); // = '[1, 2, "3"]'
toSrc([1, 2, ["a", "b", "c"]]); // = '[1, 2, undefined]' because the depth
// is 1 by default
toSrc([1, 2, ["a", "b", "c"]], 2); // = '[1, 2, ["a", "b", "c"]]'
// Objects
///////////////////////////////////////
toSrc({
regEx: /regex/gi,
anotherObj: {
test: "test"
}
});
// = '{"regEx": /regex/gi, "anotherObj": undefined}'
// anotherObj is undefined because the depth is 1 by default.
toSrc({
"regEx": /regex/gi,
"anotherObj": {
"test": "test"
}
}, 2);
// = '{"regEx": /regex/gi, "anotherObj": {"test": "test"}}'

API
-----
###toSrc(obj: *, depth: Number): String
- obj:
The object to stringify. Can also be a primitive like or true.
obj
- {Number=1} depth:
The depth to go. All nested structures like objects or arrays deeper than this will be undefined. Defaults to 1, meaning that every object or array within will be undefined by default.
`
Usage
-----
$3
javascript
`
var toSrc = require("toSrc");
toSrc(obj, depth);
toSrc(obj, depth);
$3
Just call
toSrc(Math.PI); // = 'Math.PI' instead of 3.14...
Notes
-----
* Circular references will be undefined. No error is thrown, but a warning is logged.
* All math constants are restored to their source representation, e.g.:
toSrc(new Date()) // = 'new Date(
* All dates are restored to their original time of creation, e.g.:
