serialize(source, opts, opts.ignoreCircular, opts.reference)

serializes an object to javascript

Example - serializing regex, date, buffer, ...

const serialize = require('serialize-to-js')
const obj = {
  str: '<script>var a = 0 > 1</script>',
  num: 3.1415,
  bool: true,
  nil: null,
  undef: undefined,
  obj: { foo: 'bar' },
  arr: [1, '2'],
  regexp: /^test?$/,
  date: new Date(),
  buffer: new Buffer('data'),
  set: new Set([1, 2, 3]),
  map: new Map([['a': 1],['b': 2]])
}
console.log(serialize(obj))
//> '{str: "\u003Cscript\u003Evar a = 0 \u003E 1\u003C\u002Fscript\u003E",
//>   num: 3.1415, bool: true, nil: null, undef: undefined,
//>   obj: {foo: "bar"}, arr: [1, "2"], regexp: new RegExp("^test?$", ""),
//>   date: new Date("2019-12-29T10:37:36.613Z"),
//>   buffer: Buffer.from("ZGF0YQ==", "base64"), set: new Set([1, 2, 3]),
//>   map: new Map([["a", 1], ["b", 2]])}'

Example - serializing while respecting references

var serialize = require('serialize-to-js')
var obj = { object: { regexp: /^test?$/ } };
obj.reference = obj.object;
var opts = { reference: true };
console.log(serialize(obj, opts));
//> {object: {regexp: /^test?$/}}
console.log(opts.references);
//> [ [ '.reference', '.object' ] ]

Parameters

source: Object | Array | function | Any, source to serialize
opts: Object, options
opts.ignoreCircular: Boolean, ignore circular objects
opts.reference: Boolean, reference instead of a copy (requires post-processing of opts.references)
opts.unsafe: Boolean, do not escape chars <>/
Returns: String, serialized representation of source
