> Serializes a Date object for dynamic code evaluation.
## Installation
``` bash
$ npm install eval-serialize-date
```
## Usage
``` javascript
var serialize = require( 'eval-serialize-date' );
```
#### serialize( value )
Serializes a `Date` object for dynamic code evaluation.
``` javascript
var date = new Date();
var str = serialize( date );
// returns 'new Date()'
var d = eval( str );
// returns
var bool = ( date.getTime() === d.getTime() );
// returns true
```
#### serialize.raw( date )
Serializes a `Date` object without performing type checking.
``` javascript
try {
// throws during input argument validation...
serialize( null );
} catch ( err ) {
console.error( err );
}
// To bypass validation...
var str = serialize.raw( new Date() );
// returns 'new Date()';
```
## Examples
``` javascript
var serialize = require( 'eval-serialize-date' );
/**
* Returns a function to create a Date filled array.
*/
function create( date ) {
var f = '';
f += 'return function fill( len ) {';
f += 'var arr = new Array( len );';
f += 'for ( var i = 0; i < len; i++ ) {';
f += 'arr[ i ] = ' + serialize( date ) + ';';
f += '}';
f += 'return arr;';
f += '}';
return ( new Function( f ) )();
}
var fill = create( new Date() );
console.log( fill( 10 ) );
```
To run the example code from the top-level application directory,
``` bash
$ node ./examples/index.js
```
## Tests
### Unit
Unit tests use the [Mocha](http://mochajs.org/) test framework with [Chai](http://chaijs.com) assertions. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
``` bash
$ make test
```
All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.
### Test Coverage
This repository uses [Istanbul](https://github.com/gotwarlost/istanbul) as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
``` bash
$ make test-cov
```
Istanbul creates a `./reports/coverage` directory. To access an HTML version of the report,
``` bash
$ make view-cov
```
