Max4Live: Javascript Template

Template with some useful utilities. Particulary a log function that is more userful than the post function
Based on code from uncle-javascript.com.

(If you have already been here and used the code below, there were errors. The mathematical < sign was interpreted as an HTML tag and the browser swallowed some characters. The HTML code tag around the code does not prevent this as I thought.
Also logging an object may have Live crashed.
It should work now.)

autowatch = 1; inlets = 1; outlets = 1; var debug = true; /* your code */ // Utilities function exists(data){ return(data !== null && data !== undefined); } function log(){ if(typeof(debug) != "boolean" || (typeof(debug) == "boolean" && debug === true)){ for(var i=0,len=arguments.length; i < len; i++){ var message = arguments[i]; if(typeof(message) != "object"){ if(message && message.toString) { var s = message.toString(); if(s.indexOf("[object ") >= 0) { s = JSON.stringify(message); } post(s); } else if(message === null) { post("<null>"); } else { post(message); } } else { for(prop in message){ post("key: " + prop + ", value: " + message[prop], "\n"); } } } post("\n"); } }
