Javascript / Chrome - How to copy an object from the webkit inspector as code

1. Right-click an object in Chrome's console and select Store as Global Variable from the context menu. It will return something like temp1 as the variable name.

2. Chrome also has a copy() method, so copy(temp1) in the console should copy that object to your clipboard.

Note on Recursive Objects: If you're trying to copy a recursive object, you will get [object Object]. The way out is to try copy(JSON.stringify(temp1)) , the object will be fully copied to your clipboard as a valid JSON, so you'd be able to format it as you wish, using one of many resources.

If you get the Uncaught TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON message, you can use JSON.stringify's second argument (which is a filter function) to filter out the offending circular properties. See this Stack Overflow answer for more details.

Try JSON.stringify(). Copy the resulting string. Does not work with objects containing circular references.

You can copy an object to your clip board using copy(JSON.stringify(Object_Name)); in the console.

Eg:- Copy & Paste the below code in your console and press ENTER. Now, try to paste(CTRL+V for Windows or CMD+V for mac) it some where else and you will get {"name":"Daniel","age":25}

var profile = {    name: "Daniel",    age: 25};copy(JSON.stringify(profile));
