Is there an __repr__ equivalent for javascript?

Question

The closest I got to something close to Python\'s repr is this:

function User(name, password){
         this.name = name;
         this.pass         


        

Answer 1

This is solution for NodeJS (not sure about browser). As https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v8.x/docs/api/util.html#util_util_inspect_object_options says, you could add inspect(depth, opts) to your class and it will be called when you console.log(user_class_instance);

Therefore this should do the trick:

User.prototype.inspect = function(depth, opts){
    return this.name;
};
