Javascript / Chrome - How to copy an object from the webkit inspector as code
up vote

I am doing a console.log statement in my javascript in order to log a javascript object. I'm wondering if there's a way, once that's done - to copy that object as javascript code. What I'm trying to do is convert an object that was created using ajax to parse an xml feed into a static javascript object so that a file can run locally, without a server. I've included a screenshot of the object in the chrome inspector window so you can see what I'm trying to do.

Try using firefox and the option .toSource(). It's easier

Right-click an object in Chrome's console and select
Store as Global Variablefrom the context menu. It will return something liketemp1as the variable name.Chrome also has a
copy()method, socopy(temp1)in the console should copy that object to your clipboard.
Note on Recursive Objects: If you're trying to copy a recursive object, you will get [object Object]. This is to be expected.

@David Calhoun, I voted for your answer. It looks like your answer was posted June 12, 2014 and the one accepted was Aug 5, 2014, largely taking exactly what you had. I have to admit that he mentions temp1 where your answer only shows it in your video, so maybe that's why the other answer was accepted. Best wishes.

You can copy an object to your clip board using copy(JSON.stringify(Object_Name)); in the console.
Eg:- Paste the below code in your console and press enter then try to paste(ctrl+V) it some where else and you will get "name":"Daniel","age":25
var profile =
name: "Daniel",
age: 25
;
copy(JSON.stringify(profile));

Follow the following steps:
- Output the object with console.log from your code, like so: console.log(myObject)
- Right click on the object and click "Store as Global Object". Chrome would print the name of the variable at this point. Let's assume it's called "temp1".
- In the console, type:
JSON.stringify(temp1). - At this point you will see the entire JSON object as a string that you can copy/paste.
- You can use online tools like http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/ to prettify your string at this point.

If you've sent the object over a request you can copy it from the Chrome -> Network tab.

After copying parsed payload, you can format json from jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com.

Using "Store as a Global Variable" works, but it only gets the final instance of the object, and not the moment the object is being logged (since you're likely wanting to compare changes to the object as they happen). To get the object at its exact point in time of being modified, I use this...
function logObject(object)
console.info(JSON.stringify(object).replace(/,/g, ",n"));
Call it like so...
logObject(puzzle);
You may want to remove the .replace(/./g, ",n") regex if your data happens to have comma's in it.

So,. I had this issue,. except I got [object object]
I'm sure you could do this with recursion but this worked for me:
Here is what I did in my console:
var object_that_is_not_shallow = $("all_obects_with_this_class_name");
var str = '';
object_that_is_not_shallow.map(function(_,e)
str += $(e).html();
);
copy(str);
Then paste into your editor.

@David Calhoun, I voted for your answer. It looks like your answer was posted June 12, 2014 and the one accepted was Aug 5, 2014, largely taking exactly what you had. I have to admit that he mentions temp1 where your answer only shows it in your video, so maybe that's why the other answer was accepted. Best wishes.

You can copy an object to your clip board using copy(JSON.stringify(Object_Name)); in the console.
Eg:- Paste the below code in your console and press enter then try to paste(ctrl+V) it some where else and you will get "name":"Daniel","age":25
var profile =
name: "Daniel",
age: 25
;
copy(JSON.stringify(profile));

By far the easiest solution for a large but simple object.

Follow the following steps:
- Output the object with console.log from your code, like so: console.log(myObject)
- Right click on the object and click "Store as Global Object". Chrome would print the name of the variable at this point. Let's assume it's called "temp1".
- In the console, type:
JSON.stringify(temp1). - At this point you will see the entire JSON object as a string that you can copy/paste.
- You can use online tools like http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/ to prettify your string at this point.

@JoeTidee I had the same issue, but I set up adebuggerstatement and then retrieved my var directly from the console at the breakpoint.

If you've sent the object over a request you can copy it from the Chrome -> Network tab.

Using "Store as a Global Variable" works, but it only gets the final instance of the object, and not the moment the object is being logged (since you're likely wanting to compare changes to the object as they happen). To get the object at its exact point in time of being modified, I use this...
function logObject(object)
console.info(JSON.stringify(object).replace(/,/g, ",n"));
Call it like so...
logObject(puzzle);
You may want to remove the .replace(/./g, ",n") regex if your data happens to have comma's in it.

So,. I had this issue,. except I got [object object]
I'm sure you could do this with recursion but this worked for me:
Here is what I did in my console:
var object_that_is_not_shallow = $("all_obects_with_this_class_name");
var str = '';
object_that_is_not_shallow.map(function(_,e)
str += $(e).html();
);
copy(str);
Then paste into your editor.
