feat: option to inject code verbatim
It would be handy for a use case I have for this package to support a feature that could inject code verbatim if it appears in a JavaScript object.
To implement, we could use (A) a special object constructor, (B) a special property on a string, or (C) a tagged template literal returning some special value, which would allow us to detect such cases in the serialization code.
A:
const object = {
customCode: serialize.verbatim('window.navigator.userAgent')
};
B:
const customCode = 'window.navigator.userAgent';
customCode.verbatim = true;
const object = {
customCode
};
C:
const customCode = serialize.verbatim`window.navigator.userAgent`;
const object = {
customCode
};
I tried a hack similar to https://github.com/yahoo/serialize-javascript/issues/32#issuecomment-350184098 using a function as a value and overriding its toString
method, but it didn't work since I can't include (
in the code without it being rewritten as part of the function serialization.
