# Motivation

[CouchDB](http://couchdb.apache.org) design document architecture requires that all database handlers (JavaScript functions) are stored in a JSON structure. Functions in the JSON structure must be presented as escaped stringified strings. Similar as this:

```
{
  "updatefun": "function test(a)\n{\n  console.log('test');\n}"
}
```

[CouchDB](http://couchdb.apache.org) itself does not provide a tool for convert JavaScript functions to the JSON structure. So I wrote this simple command-line converter.

# Installation

`npm install @leismore/jsonify_function`

# Test

`npm test`

# Usage

```typescript
import {jsonify_function} from '@leismore/jsonify_function';

// Define your function here
function test()
{
  console.log('test');
}

// Output
console.log( jsonify_function(test) );
```
