I'm learning coding and NodeJS. One thing that I keep getting stuck on is trying to learn about the response object. It's massive and I'm not able to digest all the information I'm receiving when I console.log() or console.dir() it.
One tool that is really handy is the Chrome JSON viewer extender. Also this jsonviewer.stack.hu does the same thing by allowing you to post JSON objects and providing a readable view of the object.
Unfortunately it doesn't accept regular objects (as copied and pasted from my CLI). I've tried JSON.stringfy() on the object but this method strips 90% of the properties on the original object.
Is there an easy solution to viewing CLI logged object with the ability to collapse and expand the properties?
The object is logged in the CLI as follows:
