TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON in nodejs
I was able to get the values using this method, found at careerkarma.com
Output looks like this.
I just run this code in the debugger console. Pass your object to this function.
Copy paste the function also.
const replacerFunc = () => {
const visited = new WeakSet();
return (key, value) => {
if (typeof value === "object" && value !== null) {
if (visited.has(value)) {
return;
}
visited.add(value);
}
return value;
};
};
JSON.stringify(circObj, replacerFunc());
Try using this npm package. This helped me decoding the res structure from my node while using passport-azure-ad
for integrating login using Microsoft account
https://www.npmjs.com/package/circular-json
You can stringify your circular structure by doing:
const str = CircularJSON.stringify(obj);
then you can convert it onto JSON using JSON parser
JSON.parse(str)
I also ran into this issue. It was because I forgot to await for a promise.
JSON doesn't accept circular objects - objects which reference themselves. JSON.stringify()
will throw an error if it comes across one of these.
The request (req
) object is circular by nature - Node does that.
In this case, because you just need to log it to the console, you can use the console's native stringifying and avoid using JSON:
console.log("Request data:");
console.log(req);
