jsonLog README 📄

This VsCode extension is a nice and lazy 😴 way of creating...

console.log(JSON.stringify(yourObject))

... with colouring 🌈 for sexy debugging.

Features 💎

  1. Log a stringified version of an object to the console.

  2. Each iteration of the log will cycle through four (yes, four!) magnificent colours!

Requirements 🛒

Some way of typing, whether that be with fingers, toes, etc.

Usage 🔮

Select an object in the editor window and then do either:

  1. Open the command pallette (ctrl+shift+p) and then run: jsonLog
  2. Run the inbuilt key-binding command: ctrl+j ctrl+j

Known Issues 👻

I have plenty but I don't know about the extension. Actually there is one:

Indentation

but I will look into this further when I have more time. There is an open stackoverflow question, if you could be so kind as to answer 😁
