  • [AskJS] Can i read an object's value expression without evaluating it?

    I recently stumbled upon power-assert library that deparses a false value and throws an exception with an explanation how it was evaluated (tutorial & playground included). I don't really understand how it works but perhaps one of its dependencies/components could do something similar to what you want.
