When I log an object in a browser console, I can expand/collapse keys which have 'large' (to display) values, eg, a key whose value is another object.
I'd like to be able to do the same for node. Eg, say I:
console.log(request)
...in an express app. Express 'request' items are large, and will easily scroll right off the screen. Being able to expand/collapse larger items would be super useful.
Is there an collapsing/expanding console for node.js?
I've used interactive console apps (top, etc), and for me a REPL falls into that category. ;)
Here is a much improved REPL: https://github.com/Benvie/Node.js-Ultra-REPL
I don't think it allows you to collapse parts of an object, but this is in the works:
GUI-like interface with collapsable object views
It does provide Toggling hiddens and builtins at least.
node-inspector might be useful to you; it's not exactly what you seem to want, but it's capable of providing the information you're looking for.
