You’re going to need to write a custom serializer similar to util.inspect
to get this. Be forewarned, though, there’s a reason functions aren’t
displayed as their source by default: calling .toString() on a function
doesn’t include the closure environment for the function, so any lexically
defined values that are in scope when the function was defined won’t be
available later:
function mildCurry (a) {
return (b) => a + b;
}
const oneOff = { add2: mildCurry(2) }
// > oneOff.add2.toString()
// '(b) => a + b'
If you’re careful about how you define functions on objects (and also
figure out whether you want to include prototype methods as part of this
serialization) you can probably stay out of trouble, but this isn’t as
generally useful as you might hope.
