JsonTruncator is a utility class designed for truncating JSON objects or arrays to a specified maximum length. This tool is particularly useful for managing large JSON data by limiting the amount of data displayed, which can help in debugging and logging scenarios. JsonTruncator supports both objects and arrays, including nested structures, ensuring that even deeply nested JSON data can be truncated efficiently.
To use JsonTruncator
, install the package via NPM, PNPM or YARN. You can install it locally within your project or globally if you intend to use it as a CLI tool.
1. Install dependencies:
- NPM
npm install json-truncator
- PNPM
pnpm install json-truncator
- YARN
yarn add json-truncator
2.Install the package globally (optional, for CLI usage):
- NPM
yarn install -g json-truncator
- PNPM
pnpm install -g json-truncator
- YARN
yarn global add json-truncator
Installing the package globally allows you to use the truncate-json command directly from the command line.
To utilize the JsonTruncator
class in your project, import it as follows:
import { JsonTruncator } from "json-truncator";
The truncate
method allows you to truncate JSON objects or arrays to a maximum number of items. Here is how you can use it:
import { JsonTruncator } from "json-truncator";
const inputArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
const truncatedArray = JsonTruncator.truncate(inputArray, 5);
console.log(truncatedArray);
// Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, '...']
const inputObject = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4, e: 5 };
const truncatedObject = JsonTruncator.truncate(inputObject, 3);
console.log(truncatedObject);
// Output: { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, etc: '...' }
If the package is installed globally, you can use it directly from the command line to truncate JSON data.
- Truncate a JSON Array or Object using a predefined command :
json-truncator -c deepArrayObject -l 5
- Truncate a JSON Array by providing custom data :
json-truncator -c -c customObject -l 2 -d '{"name": "John", "age": 30, "address": "123 Street"}'
- Truncate a JSON Object by providing custom data :
json-truncator -c customObject -l 2 -d '{"name": "John", "age": 30, "address": "123 Street"}'
-
-c, --command <command>
: Command to execute (Available commands:deepArrayObject

-l, --length <number>
: Maximum number of items to be displayed,default 3
. -
