Jasponyx

It's an opinionated JSX pretty printer for the command line.

Usage:

Context:

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/server'
import pp from 'jasponyx'
 
class CompOne extends Component {
  moreStuff() {
    return React.Children.map(this.props.children, (_, i) =>
      <div>Count me off, Juliet {i}</div>)
  }
 
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        {this.moreStuff()}
        And they've got spices!
        <CompTwo
          props="aren't"
          very="convenient"
          to="think about"
          andANumber={5}
        />
        {this.props.children}
      </div>
    )
  }
}
 
function CompTwo({ props, very, andANumber }) {
  return (
    <div>
      {props}: {very}, {andANumber}
    </div>
  )
}
 
const tree = (
  <div className="quarks probably">
    <CompOne
      crazy={{
        long: 'props',
        are: 'in',
        abundance: [
          'these days you silly goose'
        ]
      }}
    >
      Naked words should work too
      <span>Hymns and mantras and stuff</span>
    </CompOne>
    <div/>
  </div>
)

For some orientation, this is how React renders it.

console.log(ReactDOM.renderToStaticMarkup(tree))

Gross, right?

console.log(pp(tree))

console.log(pp(tree, { props: false }))

console.log(pp(tree, { native: false }))

console.log(pp(tree, { native: false, text: false })

console.log(pp(tree, { nativeProps: false }))

console.log(pp(tree, { composite: false }))

Note the similarities to the output of ReactDOM.renderToStaticMarkup

console.log(pp(tree, { compositeProps: false }))

FAQ that no one has never asked

Q. Why "jasponyx"?

A: curl -L https://github.com/dwyl/english-words/blob/master/words.txt?raw=true | rg j.*s.*x

Q: But what if I want some other kind of styling or opinion?

A: First of all, wow! Thanks for using our library! Second of all, make an issue. Or better yet, make a PR. =) We built this for internal debugging use, and were pretty surprised it didn't already exist in some form or another. There's jsx-to-string and a couple others, but those only go one layer deep. We basically wanted the React Devtools output in the console.

Q: What about lifecycle hooks?

A: Not necessary for our usecase, and we don't even know how you'd render that kind of thing. So this only does the initial load. with the composite option set to false, the output should basically be a colorized version of react-dom/server's .renderToStaticMarkup's output.
