I am using the console debugger in NodeJS and want to watch a Map object. Here is the simple test script I want to practice on.
'use strict'
const data = new Map()
const readline = require('readline-sync')
let input
do {
input = String(readline.question('enter command: ')).trim()
debugger
if (input.indexOf('add ') === 0) {
const space = input.indexOf(' ')
const item = input.substring(space).trim()
console.log(`adding '${item}'`)
let qty = 1
debugger
if (data.has(item)) qty = data.get(item) + 1
data.set(item, qty)
}
if (input.indexOf('list') === 0) {
data.forEach( (val, key) => {
process.stdout.write(`${key}\t${val}\n`)
})
}
} while (input !== 'exit')
So I start the script in debug mode and attach a watcher to the data
object.
node debug simpleDebug.js
< Debugger listening on 127.0.0.1:5858
connecting to 127.0.0.1:5858 ... ok
break in simpleDebug.js:2
1
> 2 'use strict'
3
4 const data = new Map()
debug> watch('data')
debug> c
debug> enter command: add cheese
break in simpleDebug.js:10
Watchers:
0: data = {"handle":15,"type":"map","text":"#<Map>"}
8 do {
9 input = String(readline.question('enter command: ')).trim()
>10 debugger
11 if (input.indexOf('add ') === 0) {
12 const space = input.indexOf(' ')
debug>
As you can see, the debugger does not show the values stored in the map. I assume these are part of the "text"
key but how can I add a watcher to that?
