Console logging, inspecting and debugging tool.  

Instead of having console.log and util.inspect all over your code during development, use preview and can then turn object printing on or off using _--preview_ argument.

_Simpler than [Preview](https://www.npmjs.com/package/preview)._

## Installation

From your terminal, requires [node.js](http://nodejs.org/).

```
npm install preview2
```

## Example

In TypeScript.

```
/// <reference types="@types/node" />
//
// ts-node example.ts --preview
//

import { preview, Log } from 'preview2';

const log: Log = preview(__filename);

log('will always print', undefined, true);

let foo: any = {bar: 8211, hello: 'world', list: [1,2,3]};   // some object to inspect.
 
log('foo');
log('foo object', foo);
log(foo);
```
Run:
```
ts-node example.ts --preview
```
