<p style="color: grey"> JavaScript recipe 577787 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173505/">Trent Mick</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/filename/">filename</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/nodejs/">nodejs</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/slug/">slug</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/slugify/">slugify</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/url/">url</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>"Slugify" a string so it has only alphanumeric and hyphen characters. Useful for URLs and filenames. This is a JavaScript (node.js too) version of <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577257/">Recipe 577257</a>.</p> <p>Note: It is missing the guarantee that only ascii characters are passed through. I don't know an NFKD equivalent in JavaScript-land.</p>

Revision 3. </p> <p>Save this to "nicerest", <code>chmod +x</code>-it, and pipe your REST API <code>curl</code> calls through this for nicer output. It will notice HTTP headers (curl's <code>-i</code> option) and skips those before attempting to pretty-print the following JSON.</p> <p>Note: This is currently using node 0.2. I should update for 0.3 changes (I think <code>process.openStdin</code> changed).</p>

<p style="color: grey"> JavaScript recipe 577351 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173505/">Trent Mick</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/logging/">logging</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/nodejs/">nodejs</a>). </p> <p>I tend to have a "quicklog" method for a few of the languages I'm working in to do logging when stdout/stderr isn't necessarily available (GUI app) or convenient (lots of other output on stdout, etc.). My usage with <a href="http://nodejs.org">nodejs</a> was while working on the node REPL. Log output to stdout interfered with the REPL.</p>
