Propget is a small helper utility for finding values/keys in deeply nested objects without having to worry about undefined properties and what not. It uses a human readable dot based notation to find items in your object or array.
Just install it through npm, like you do with the all your code:
npm install --save propget
It doesn't use any fancy node.js magic or ES6 so it should be good to go for browser usage as well using something as browserify.
Using this module is super simple. It exports a single function which accepts 2 arguments;
- The object that it needs to extract the data from
- A dot notated string for deeply nested object access.
'use strict';
var prop = require('propget')
, data = { hello: 'world', yo: { deeply: ['nested', 'arrays'] } };
prop(data, 'hello'); // world
prop(data, 'yo.deeply.1'); // arrays
prop(data, 'yo.deeply.nested.unknown.keys'); // undefinedMIT
