            # objectcrawler

Basic and lightweight python tool for inspecting python objects.

Originally built for objects defining `__slots__`, however it also handles the `__dict__` attribute just fine.

## Installation

1) Create a fork of this repo
2) Clone the forked repo to your machine
3) Install with `pip install ObjectCrawler`

For development you can install using the pip `-e` editable flag.

Feel free to file a pull request if you make any changes!

## Usage

Inspecting an object is simple, import the `Crawler` class and feed it the object in question:

```python
from objectcrawler import Crawler
print(Crawler(...))
```

### Demo

Lets demonstrate this with a simple class:

```python
class Food:
    __slots__ = ["name"]
    def __init__(self, name: str):
        self.name = name

    def __repr__(self):
        return f"Food({self.name})"
```

After creating an instance of this class, we can inspect it:

```python
from objectcrawler import Crawler
a = Food("Apple")
print(Crawler(a))
```

This will output the following table:

```
────────────┬──────────────┬────────────┬─────────
assignment  │ value        │ classname  │ source
────────────┼──────────────┼────────────┼─────────
~           │ Food(Apple)  │ Food       │ self
└─ name     │ Apple        │ str        │ Food
```

### Inheritance

The purpose of the `source` column is to display information about inheritance.

If we create a subclass, we can see this behaviour:

```python
class PreparedFood(Food):
    __slots__ = ["prep_time"]
    def __init__(self, name: str, prep_time: int):
        super().__init__(name)

        self.prep_time = prep_time

    def __repr__(self):
        return f"PreparedFood({self.name}, {self.prep_time})"

b = PreparedFood("Pasta", 10)
print(Crawler(b))
```

Giving the following table. Note the `source` column:

```
──────────────┬──────────────────────────┬───────────────┬───────────────
assignment    │ value                    │ classname     │ source
──────────────┼──────────────────────────┼───────────────┼───────────────
~             │ PreparedFood(Pasta, 10)  │ PreparedFood  │ None
├─ prep_time  │ 10                       │ int           │ PreparedFood
└─ name       │ Pasta                    │ str           │ Food
```

### Iterators

Iterators are a special case, since they are implicit storage containers, an attempt is made to "unpack" them into the data tree.

lists, tuples, etc. wil have their `assignment` set to the index

dicts, OrderedDicts, etc. will have their `assignment` set to the key (the object must provide a `iter()` method for this functionality)

```python
class Meal:
    __slots__ = ["name", "ingredients"]
    def __init__(self, name: str, ingredients: list):
        self.name = name
        self.ingredients = ingredients

ingredients = [
    Food("Cheese"),
    PreparedFood("Beans", 10),
    PreparedFood("Toast", 5)
]

c = Meal("Cheesy Beans on Toast", ingredients)
print(Crawler(c))
```

```

│  │  └─ name       │ Cheese                                    │ str           │ Food

│  │  ├─ prep_time  │ 10                                        │ int           │ PreparedFood
│  │  └─ name       │ Beans                                     │ str           │ Food

│  │  ├─ prep_time  │ 5                                         │ int           │ PreparedFood
│  │  └─ name       │ Toast                                     │ str           │ Food
```

## Differences

If you're trying to debug a class and have one working example of it, you can quickly find the issues by differencing it with a broken version. To do this, you should create two Crawler instances (one working, and one not). You can then "subtract" these objects to reveal the differences.

```python
a = Object(...)
b = Object(...)

crawl_a = Crawler(a)
crawl_b = Crawler(b)

print(crawl_a - crawl_b)
```

This will print out two joined tables with the differences highlighted in red.

## Debug

If you don't trust the output there exists a debug mode for the print which can help you figure out what's going on.

To activate this we should create the actual `Crawler` object and store it in a variable:

```python
crawl = Crawler(c)
```
We can then print the info using the `print()` method. This can take extra args, including `debug`

```python
crawl.print(debug=True)
```

```

### Debug output

To understand what we're seeing here it can be helpful to know what's going on inside this table.

Each row is represented by an `Entity` object. This stores some information about each attribute of the original object, but most importantly it stores the hierarchy of children.

The extra columns added expose this information.

The `entity` column contains part of the hash for the `Entity` in _that row_.

The `parent` column contains part of the hash for the `Entity` that _provided_ the `Entity` in that row.

The `nchildren` column is a counter of how many children that entity has, and is used for tree generation.

## Formatting

Similar to the debug, `print()` can also take some basic formatting arguments, `whitespace` and `branch_len`.

`whitespace` dictates the amount of padding added to the end of each column, whereas `branch_len` controls the length of each "branch" in the tree.

The best way to understand these args is to demonstrate them:

### whitespace

```python
crawl.print(whitespace=10)
```

Note the `source` column:\n\n```\n\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u252c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u252c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u252c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\nassignment    \u2502 value                    \u2502 classname     \u2502 source\n\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u253c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u253c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u253c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\n~             \u2502 PreparedFood(Pasta, 10)  \u2502 PreparedFood  \u2502 None\n\u251c\u2500 prep_time  \u2502 10                       \u2502 int           \u2502 PreparedFood\n\u2514\u2500 name       \u2502 Pasta                    \u2502 str           \u2502 Food\n```\n\n### Iterators\n\nIterators are a special case, since they are implicit storage containers, an attempt is made to \"unpack\" them into the data tree.\n\nlists, tuples, etc. wil have their `assignment` set to the index\n\ndicts, OrderedDicts, etc. will have their `assignment` set to the key (the object must provide a `iter()` method for this functionality)\n\n```python\nclass Meal:\n    __slots__ = [\"name\", \"ingredients\"]\n    def __init__(self, name: str, ingredients: list):\n        self.name = name\n        self.ingredients = ingredients\n\ningredients = [\n    Food(\"Cheese\"),\n    PreparedFood(\"Beans\", 10),\n    PreparedFood(\"Toast\", 5)\n]\n\nc = Meal(\"Cheesy Beans on Toast\", ingredients)\nprint(Crawler(c))\n```\n\n```\n\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u252c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u252c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u252c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\nassignment          \u2502 value                                     \u2502 classname     \u2502 source\n\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u253c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u253c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u253c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\n~                   \u2502 <__main__.Meal object at 0x762f4d65de10>  \u2502 Meal          \u2502 None\n\u251c\u2500 name             \u2502 Cheesy Beans on Toast                     \u2502 str           \u2502 Meal\n\u2514\u2500 ingredients      \u2502 iterable: list                            \u2502 list          \u2502 Meal\n\u2502  \u251c\u2500 0             \u2502 Food(Cheese)                              \u2502 Food          \u2502 Meal\n\u2502  \u2502  \u2514\u2500 name       \u2502 Cheese                                    \u2502 str           \u2502 Food\n\u2502  \u251c\u2500 1             \u2502 PreparedFood(Beans, 10)                   \u2502 PreparedFood  \u2502 Meal\n\u2502  \u2502  \u251c\u2500 prep_time  \u2502 10                                        \u2502 int           \u2502 PreparedFood\n\u2502  \u2502  \u2514\u2500 name       \u2502 Beans                                     \u2502 str           \u2502 Food\n\u2502  \u2514\u2500 2             \u2502 PreparedFood(Toast, 5)                    \u2502 PreparedFood  \u2502 Meal\n\u2502  \u2502  \u251c\u2500 prep_time  \u2502 5                                         \u2502 int           \u2502 PreparedFood\n\u2502  \u2502  \u2514\u2500 name       \u2502 Toast                                     \u2502 str           \u2502 Food\n```\n\n## Differences\n\nIf you're trying to debug a class and have one working example of it, you can quickly find the issues by differencing it with a broken version. To do this, you should create two Crawler instances (one working, and one not). You can then \"subtract\" these objects to reveal the differences.\n\n```python\na = Object(...)\nb = Object(...)\n\ncrawl_a = Crawler(a)\ncrawl_b = Crawler(b)\n\nprint(crawl_a - crawl_b)\n```\n\nThis will print out two joined tables with the differences highlighted in red.\n\n## Debug\n\nIf you don't trust the output there exists a debug mode for the print which can help you figure out what's going on.\n\nTo activate this we should create the actual `Crawler` object and store it in a variable:\n\n```python\ncrawl = Crawler(c)\n```\nWe can then print the info using the `print()` method. This can take extra args, including `debug`\n\n```python\ncrawl.print(debug=True)\n```\n\n```\n\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u252c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u252c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u252c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u252c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u252c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u252c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\nassignment          \u2502 value                                     \u2502 classname     \u2502 source        \u2502 entity            \u2502 parent            \u2502 nchildren\n\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u253c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u253c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u253c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u253c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u253c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u253c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\n~                   \u2502 <__main__.Meal object at 0x762f4d65de10>  \u2502 Meal          \u2502 None          \u2502 Entity #47004730  \u2502 None              \u2502 2\n\u251c\u2500 name             \u2502 Cheesy Beans on Toast                     \u2502 str           \u2502 Meal          \u2502 Entity #91735648  \u2502 Entity #47004730  \u2502 0\n\u2514\u2500 ingredients      \u2502 iterable: list                            \u2502 list          \u2502 Meal          \u2502 Entity #43691166  \u2502 Entity #47004730  \u2502 3\n\u2502  \u251c\u2500 0             \u2502 Food(Cheese)                              \u2502 Food          \u2502 Meal          \u2502 Entity #27979510  \u2502 Entity #43691166  \u2502 1\n\u2502  \u2502  \u2514\u2500 name       \u2502 Cheese                                    \u2502 str           \u2502 Food          \u2502 Entity #27472819  \u2502 Entity #27979510  \u2502 0\n\u2502  \u251c\u2500 1             \u2502 PreparedFood(Beans, 10)                   \u2502 PreparedFood  \u2502 Meal          \u2502 Entity #62084209  \u2502 Entity #43691166  \u2502 2\n\u2502  \u2502  \u251c\u2500 prep_time  \u2502 10                                        \u2502 int           \u2502 PreparedFood  \u2502 Entity #04848920  \u2502 Entity #62084209  \u2502 0\n\u2502  \u2502  \u2514\u2500 name       \u2502 Beans                                     \u2502 str           \u2502 Food          \u2502 Entity #13535757  \u2502 Entity #62084209  \u2502 0\n\u2502  \u2514\u2500 2             \u2502 PreparedFood(Toast, 5)                    \u2502 PreparedFood  \u2502 Meal          \u2502 Entity #55272230  \u2502 Entity #43691166  \u2502 2\n\u2502  \u2502  \u251c\u2500 prep_time  \u2502 5                                         \u2502 int           \u2502 PreparedFood  \u2502 Entity #32701778  \u2502 Entity #55272230  \u2502 0\n\u2502  \u2502  \u2514\u2500 name       \u2502 Toast                                     \u2502 str           \u2502 Food          \u2502 Entity #67167938  \u2502 Entity #55272230  \u2502 0\n```\n\n### Debug output\n\nTo understand what we're seeing here it can be helpful to know what's going on inside this table.\n\nEach row is represented by an `Entity` object. This stores some information about each attribute of the original object, but most importantly it stores the hierarchy of children.\n\nThe extra columns added expose this information.\n\nThe `entity` column contains part of the hash for the `Entity` in _that row_.\n\nThe `parent` column contains part of the hash for the `Entity` that _provided_ the `Entity` in that row.\n\nThe `nchildren` column is a counter of how many children that entity has, and is used for tree generation.\n\n## Formatting\n\nSimilar to the debug, `print()` can also take some basic formatting arguments, `whitespace` and `branch_len`.\n\n`whitespace` dictates the amount of padding added to the end of each column, whereas `branch_len` controls the length of each \"branch\" in the tree.\n\nThe best way to understand these args is to demonstrate them:\n\n###
