wsearch

Function to search values (or keys) in objects by RegExp.

Installation

• from package manager

npm i wsearch

and import into your file:

const wsearch = require('wsearch');
//or
import wsearch from 'wsearch';

• from browser DevTools

Put code from "wsearch.min.js" to the target page console.

Basic usage

wsearch(query, {target}[, options])

Nesting target in the object with a single property is required for valid path in output.

Default search prototypes: ["Window", "Object", "Array", "Set", "Map", "Function"]

• query <RegExp> Search query
• target <Object> | <Array> | etc. Object with any prototype to search
• options <Object>
  • byKeys <boolean> Default: false

    Change the mode to search by property names.

  • functions <boolean> Default: false

    Add functions body to search.

  • typesAdd <Array>

    Add prototypes to defaults (like "Location", "Navigator" etc.). You can get type of any object:

    Object.prototype.toString.call(object);

  • typesSet <Array> | "all"

    Replace defaults prototypes.

    With parameter "all" search will be performed in all prototypes in target object that are found and maybe will take a lot of time.

• Returns: <Array>

For example:

wsearch(/Hello\sworld/, {window}, {functions: true});

Output:

[
	{
		path: <string path to value>,
		match: <array of matches>,
		object: <object>,
		key: <key>,
		value: <value>
	},
	...
]

Info

If the found path includes Map/Set object or Symbol, access to the keys will be performed through an array with index valid at the time of the search.
