==================

Will JSON.stringify and pretty-print objects passed as 2nd, 3rd, ... parameter to expect, for nice test output.

Installation

============

`npm install --save-dev chai-pretty-expect`

Usage

=====

```js

 var chai = require('chai');

 chai.use(require('chai-pretty-expect'));

 //we are inside describe

 var response;

 before(function(done){

    return request.post(url, { json:true, body: myObject }, handleResponse); //post invalid json

    function handleResponse(err, res){

        if(err){

            return done(err);

        }

        response = res;

    }

 });

 it("returns correct statusCode", function() {

    expect(response, response.body).to.have.property("statusCode", 200);

 };

```

 This expect will prettyPrint the `response.body` if `statusCode` is not `200`. This is gives very nice error messages and makes sure that you can debug more easily when tests fail.

 So instead of `[Object object]` you will get nice output of body
