Uncaught Error: TypeError: � Chromafi: Converting circular structure to JSON

[emahuni]

If an object has any circular references, or objects that refer to themselves this is what Chromafi throws.

const chroma = require('chromafi');
let huga = { foo: 'bar' }; // define an object
huga.huga = huga; // create a circular ref

chroma(huga); // throws the above error

Cant the code simple put '[circular]' in place of the code that is circular?

I think I have got the solution to this, let me code it and make a pull request.

ahhh the solution, i tried a yesterday, it is slow. I used safe-json-stringify in place of JSON.stringify, there are a lot of issues that came with it. I then used util.inspect, but chromafi doesn't highlight code nor stringify functions. Will let you know progress if I get anywhere.

Just made a pr of the first solution. Please check it out i think this is the way to go, we start from there.

It looks like you need to update the "circular json throws" test. I'm assuming the code will never throw with your update?
