get

Safely, succinctly, access hash data

Installation

npm install jasonkuhrt-get

API

get(path, object)

path

• May be a String or [String].

object

• Any object.

return

• If path lookup fails, the last found value.
• If path lookup totally fails (not a single found key from path in object), the given object.
• If given object is not actually an object, {}.

Examples

Access object properties in String or Array style:

var o = {a: { b: c: 'c' } };

get('a.b.c',  o) === get(['a','b','c'], o); // true

get is curried to allow creation of accessors on the fly:

var ids = users.map(get('id')); // e.g. [1, 45, 82, 8392, ...etc]
