How to see all the properties an object has?

Andre_Comella

Not sure if this is the right nomenclature, but it would be really helpful to be able to see all the properties an object has (i.e. everything I can access by doing foo.property). 

For a more concrete example, I was making coordinate systems and sketch planes. The coordinate systems use .xAxis, and .zAxis while the sketch planes us .x and .y, and .normal. How would I know what these parameters are called? Debug and print both seem to label properties in some human-readable format, which is nice for reading but leaves me guessing and what to use in my code

keys(foo)  - will give a list of all of the properties of an object.

Somewhat more idiomatic way: you can mouse over an identifier, and the mouseover documentation will often just link you to the FS docs.

E.g., if you've got a call like evMateConnector(context, ...), mousing over that tells you that it returns a thing of type CoordSystem, which links straight to the docs: https://cad.onshape.com/FsDoc/library.html#CoordSystem

You can also find most of the types in the documentation.
It will list the name of the property and a description of what the type is.

keys(foo) was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
