## Usage

### `dd()` Dump and Die

Calling `dd()` prints the output and kills the process

```js
const { dd } = require('dumper.js');

const users = [
    { user: 'barney', age: 36, active: true, createdAt: new Date(), getAge: () => this.age },
    { user: 'fred', age: 40, active: false, createdAt: new Date(), getAge: () => this.age },
    { user: 'pebbles', age: 1, active: true, createdAt: new Date(), getAge: () => this.age }
];

dd(users);

// Above variable will be printed
console.log('this will never be called');
```

Will output below result and kill the process. [Demo](https://runkit.com/ziishaned/5cc95de6c01d42001ae5eed5)

const { dump } = require('dumper.js');

const users = [
    { user: 'barney', age: 36, active: true, createdAt: new Date(), getAge: () => this.age },
    { user: 'fred', age: 40, active: false, createdAt: new Date(), getAge: () => this.age },
    { user: 'pebbles', age: 1, active: true, createdAt: new Date(), getAge: () => this.age }
];

dump(users);

// Above variable will be printed and the process will continue
console.log('this will be called');
```

Will output below result and continue processing. [Demo](https://runkit.com/ziishaned/5cc95f368838bf001bb9a6b1)
