# pretty-format

Stringify any JavaScript value.

- Serialize built-in JavaScript types.
- Serialize application-specific data types with built-in or user-defined plugins.

## Installation

```sh
$ yarn add pretty-format
```

## Usage

```js
const {format: prettyFormat} = require('pretty-format'); // CommonJS
```

```js
import {format as prettyFormat} from 'pretty-format'; // ES2015 modules
```

```js
const val = {object: {}};
val.circularReference = val;
val[Symbol('foo')] = 'foo';
val.map = new Map([['prop', 'value']]);
val.array = [-0, Infinity, NaN];

console.log(prettyFormat(val));
/*
Object {
  "array": Array [
    -0,
    Infinity,
    NaN,
  ],
  "circularReference": [Circular],
  "map": Map {
    "prop" => "value",
  },
  "object": Object {},
  Symbol(foo): "foo",
}
*/
```

## Usage with options

```js
function onClick() {}

console.log(prettyFormat(onClick));
/*
[Function onClick]
*/

const options = {
  printFunctionName: false,
};
console.log(prettyFormat(onClick, options));
/*
[Function]
*/
```

Property values of `theme` are from [ansi-styles colors](https://github.com/chalk/ansi-styles#colors)

```js
const DEFAULT_THEME = {
  comment: 'gray',
  content: 'reset',
  prop: 'yellow',
  tag: 'cyan',
  value: 'green',
};
```

## Usage with plugins

The `pretty-format` package provides some built-in plugins, including:

- `ReactElement` for elements from `react`
- `ReactTestComponent` for test objects from `react-test-renderer`

```js
// CommonJS
const React = require('react');
const renderer = require('react-test-renderer');
const {format: prettyFormat, plugins} = require('pretty-format');

const {ReactElement, ReactTestComponent} = plugins;
```

```js
// ES2015 modules and destructuring assignment
import React from 'react';
import renderer from 'react-test-renderer';
import {plugins, format as prettyFormat} from 'pretty-format';

const {ReactElement, ReactTestComponent} = plugins;
```

```js
const onClick = () => {};
const element = React.createElement('button', {onClick}, 'Hello World');

const formatted1 = prettyFormat(element, {
  plugins: [ReactElement],
  printFunctionName: false,
});
const formatted2 = prettyFormat(renderer.create(element).toJSON(), {
  plugins: [ReactTestComponent],
  printFunctionName: false,
});
/*
<button
  onClick=[Function]
>
  Hello World
</button>
*/
```

## Usage in Jest

For snapshot tests, Jest uses `pretty-format` with options that include some of its built-in plugins. For this purpose, plugins are also known as **snapshot serializers**.

To serialize application-specific data types, you can add modules to `devDependencies` of a project, and then:

In an **individual** test file, you can add a module as follows. It precedes any modules from Jest configuration.

```js
import serializer from 'my-serializer-module';
expect.addSnapshotSerializer(serializer);

// tests which have `expect(value).toMatchSnapshot()` assertions
```

For **all** test files, you can specify modules in Jest configuration. They precede built-in plugins for React, HTML, and Immutable.js data types. For example, in a `package.json` file:

```json
{
  "jest": {
    "snapshotSerializers": ["my-serializer-module"]
  }
}
```

## Writing plugins

A plugin is a JavaScript object.

If `options` has a `plugins` array: for the first plugin whose `test(val)` method returns a truthy value, then `prettyFormat(val, options)` returns the result from either:

- `serialize(val, …)` method of the **improved** interface (available in **version 21** or later)
- `print(val, …)` method of the **original** interface (if plugin does not have `serialize` method)

### test

Write `test` so it can receive `val` argument of any type. To serialize **objects** which have certain properties, then a guarded expression like `val != null && …` or more concise `val && …` prevents the following errors:

- `TypeError: Cannot read property 'whatever' of null`
- `TypeError: Cannot read property 'whatever' of undefined`

For example, `test` method of built-in `ReactElement` plugin:

```js
const elementSymbol = Symbol.for('react.element');
const test = val => val && val.$$typeof === elementSymbol;
```

Pay attention to efficiency in `test` because `pretty-format` calls it often.

### serialize

The **improved** interface is available in **version 21** or later.

Write `serialize` to return a string, given the arguments:

- `val` which “passed the test”
- unchanging `config` object: derived from `options`
- current `indentation` string: concatenate to `indent` from `config`
- current `depth` number: compare to `maxDepth` from `config`
- current `refs` array: find circular references in objects
- `printer` callback function: serialize children

### config

Each property of `colors` in `config` corresponds to a property of `theme` in `options`:

- the key is the same (for example, `tag`)
- the value in `colors` is a object with `open` and `close` properties whose values are escape codes from [ansi-styles](https://github.com/chalk/ansi-styles) for the color value in `theme` (for example, `'cyan'`)

Some properties in `config` are derived from `min` in `options`:

- `spacingInner` and `spacingOuter` are **newline** if `min` is `false`
- `spacingInner` is **space** and `spacingOuter` is **empty string** if `min` is `true`

### Example of serialize and test

This plugin is a pattern you can apply to serialize composite data types. Side note: `pretty-format` does not need a plugin to serialize arrays.

```js
// We reused more code when we factored out a function for child items
// that is independent of depth, name, and enclosing punctuation (see below).
const SEPARATOR = ',';
function serializeItems(items, config, indentation, depth, refs, printer) {
  if (items.length === 0) {
    return '';
  }
  const indentationItems = indentation + config.indent;
  return (
    config.spacingOuter +
    items
      .map(
        item =>
          indentationItems +
          printer(item, config, indentationItems, depth, refs), // callback
      )
      .join(SEPARATOR + config.spacingInner) +
    (config.min ? '' : SEPARATOR) + // following the last item
    config.spacingOuter +
    indentation
  );
}

```js
const val = {
  filter: 'completed',
  items: [
    {
      text: 'Write test',
      completed: true,
    },
    {
      text: 'Write serialize',
      completed: true,
    },
  ],
};
```

```js
console.log(
  prettyFormat(val, {
    plugins: [plugin],
  }),
);
/*
Object {
  "filter": "completed",
  "items": Array [
    Object {
      "completed": true,
      "text": "Write test",
    },
    Object {
      "completed": true,
      "text": "Write serialize",
    },
  ],
}
*/
```

```js
console.log(
  prettyFormat(val, {
    indent: 4,
    plugins: [plugin],
  }),
);
/*
Object {
    "filter": "completed",
    "items": Array [
        Object {
            "completed": true,
            "text": "Write test",
        },
        Object {
            "completed": true,
            "text": "Write serialize",
        },
    ],
}
*/
```

```js
console.log(
  prettyFormat(val, {
    maxDepth: 1,
    plugins: [plugin],
  }),
);
/*
Object {
  "filter": "completed",
  "items": [Array],
}
*/
```

```js
console.log(
  prettyFormat(val, {
    min: true,
    plugins: [plugin],
  }),
);
/*
{"filter": "completed", "items": [{"completed": true, "text": "Write test"}, {"completed": true, "text": "Write serialize"}]}
*/
```

### print

The **original** interface is adequate for plugins:

- that **do not** depend on options other than `highlight` or `min`
- that **do not** depend on `depth` or `refs` in recursive traversal, and
- if values either
  - do **not** require indentation, or
  - do **not** occur as children of JavaScript data structures (for example, array)

Write `print` to return a string, given the arguments:

- `val` which “passed the test”
- current `printer(valChild)` callback function: serialize children
- current `indenter(lines)` callback function: indent lines at the next level
- unchanging `config` object: derived from `options`
- unchanging `colors` object: derived from `options`

The 3 properties of `config` are `min` in `options` and:

- `spacing` and `edgeSpacing` are **newline** if `min` is `false`
- `spacing` is **space** and `edgeSpacing` is **empty string** if `min` is `true`

Each property of `colors` corresponds to a property of `theme` in `options`:

### Example of print and test

This plugin prints functions with the **number of named arguments** excluding rest argument.

```js
const plugin = {
  print(val) {
    return `[Function ${val.name || 'anonymous'} ${val.length}]`;
  },
  test(val) {
    return typeof val === 'function';
  },
};
```

```js
const val = {
  onClick(event) {},
  render() {},
};

prettyFormat(val, {
  plugins: [plugin],
});
/*
Object {
  "onClick": [Function onClick 1],
  "render": [Function render 0],
}
*/

prettyFormat(val);
/*
Object {
  "onClick": [Function onClick],
  "render": [Function render],
}
*/
```

This plugin **ignores** the `printFunctionName` option. That limitation of the original `print` interface is a reason to use the improved `serialize` interface, described above.

```js
prettyFormat(val, {
  plugins: [pluginOld],
  printFunctionName: false,
});
/*
Object {
  "onClick": [Function onClick 1],
  "render": [Function render 0],
}
*/

prettyFormat(val, {
  printFunctionName: false,
});
/*
Object {
  "onClick": [Function],
  "render": [Function],
}
*/
```
