unist-util-inspect
unist utility to inspect trees.
Contents
What is this?
This is a utility pretty prints the tree.
When should I use this?
This utility pretty prints the tree in a format that is made custom for unist trees, which is terser than the often verbose and repetitive JSON, to more easily spot bugs and see what’s going on in the tree.
Install
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install unist-util-inspect
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {inspect} from 'https://esm.sh/unist-util-inspect@8'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import {inspect} from 'https://esm.sh/unist-util-inspect@8?bundle'
</script>
Use
import {u} from 'unist-builder'
import {inspect} from 'unist-util-inspect'
const tree = u('root', [
u('literal', '1'),
u('parent', [
u('void', {id: 'a'}),
u('literal', '2'),
u('node', {id: 'b'}, [])
])
])
console.log(inspect(tree))
Yields:
root[2]
├─0 literal "1"
└─1 parent[3]
├─0 void
│ id: "a"
├─1 literal "2"
└─2 node[0]
id: "b"

Compatibility
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line, unist-util-inspect@^8
,
compatible with Node.js 16.
