Align keys/values in objects? #155
Description
I just stumbled upon a Node library called string.ify that looks fairly interesting. It aims to format objects such that keys and values are aligned as much as possible. So it turns something like this:
{
obj: [
{
someLongPropertyName: 1,
propertyName: 2,
anotherProp: 4,
moreProps: 5
},
{
propertyName: {
someVeryLongPropertyName: true,
qux: 6,
zap: "lol"
}
}
]
}into this:
{ obj: [ { someLongPropertyName: 1,
propertyName: 2,
anotherProp: 4,
moreProps: 5 },
{ propertyName: { someVeryLongPropertyName: true,
qux: 6,
zap: "lol" } } ] }This looks highly unconventional, and requires a wide terminal width / screen to view properly. However, it makes scanning a giant data structure very easy:
It might be worth it to experiment with how this would look in a diff.
