  • dump all object keys/values

    From Mortifis@ALLEYCAT to All on Wednesday, April 08, 2020 01:42:22
    How would one show all of the key/values for http_request.query?

    Thanks,

    How would one show all of the key/values for http_request.query?

    Object.keys(http_request.query).forEach(function (e) {
    writeln(e + ': ' + JSON.stringify(http_request.query[e]));
    });

    Because each property of http_request.query is an array, I'm JSON.stringifying the value to dump the array contents.

    How would one show all of the key/values for http_request.query?

    To print out the key/values of an object, I usually like to do this (this example assumes it's being run on the telnet terminal:

    for (var prop in http_request.query)
    console.print(prop + ": " + http_request.query[prop] + "\r\n"); console.pause();

    JSON.stringify() does seem easier though:

    console.print(lfexpand(JSON.stringify(http_request.query, null, 4)));

    Interesting, I'll have to try that.

    I suppose a generic function might look like:

    function dump_objs(obj)
    {
    Object.keys(obj).forEach(function (e) {
    writeln(e + ': ' + JSON.stringify(obj[e]) + '<br>'); // run via an xjs script for html output
    });
    }

    // and a possible call:

    dump_objs(http_request.query);

    ??

    Nothing wrong with doing it that way, really. If you just want to dump an object without doing a lot of formatting, then DM's suggestion (along the lines) of:

    writeln(JSON.stringify(obj, null, 4));

    is sufficient. When doing quick debugging, this is often the way I go.

    Both have their merits so I utilize them both ... thank you both!
