Warning

I do not recommend you to use this node module on your released code, it just helps you optimize your code or find error easier, during developing.

// just check variable on development environment
let check = require('check-circular-reference');
let isReleased = true;

if (!isReleased) {
    // the below code will be executed on unreleased environment
    // the obj is a variable  that you will check
    check(obj)
}
