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.
Right-click an object in Chrome's console and select Store as Global Variable
from the context menu. It will return something like temp1
as the variable name.
Chrome also has a copy()
method, so copy(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]
. The way out is to copy(JSON.stringify(temp1))
, the object will be fully copied to your clipboard as a valid JSON, so you'd be able to format it as you wish, using one of many resources.
