lazy-object-view is available as an npm package. Install this in npm with npm i lazy-object-view.
lazy-object-view has a react wrapper @ react-lazy-object-view
To use in a Typescript project simply import and construct a new LazyObjectView object.
import LazyObjectView from 'lazy-object-view'
const lazyObjectView = new LazyObjectView();
const targetElement = document.getElementById("root");
if (targetElement !== null) {
lazyObjectView.render(targetElement, { "test": { "nested_key": "nested_value" }});
}
lazy-object-view is exported using webpack's umd (universal module definition).
When calling render you can pass an options object as an optional third parameter with the following fields. All suboptions of the options object are optional.
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| useRootElement | boolean | Setting this to true will collapse the entire object into a single root node. |
| rootName | string | If useRootElement is set to true, this will optionally set the name of the root node element. If nothing is specified then this will default to root. |
| showLoadingIndicator | boolean | When set, when expanding nodes this will attempt to show a loading indicator. Note that this will add an artificial 10ms delay to rendering. |
| collapseStringsOver | number | Will collapse strings over this length and show an ellipses (...) with the amount of remaining text. These ellipses can be expanded by clicking. |
