keypath

Keypath

Easily access properties in nested objects and arrays using a dot notation syntax.

Installation

Install with NPM: $ npm install keypath

keypath(keypath, object/array[, callback/re-throw]);

Keypath only exposes one function, so require it and use it.

var keypath = require('keypath');
keypath('foo.bar.baz', object);

Keypath takes 2 or 3 arguments.

• keypath: a string representing the value you want to access.

• object: the object in which this value resides.

• callback/rethrow: an optional argument that can be either a function or true. If you give it a function, this function will be called if an error occurs. The error itself will be the callbacks only argument.

  If you pass true any error will be re-thrown and you can catch it yourself.

  If left out keypath() will just return undefined.

Roadmap

I'd like to add setting, that'd be convinient, right? Also adding@avg and the like would be cool. If you don't know what that is read this excellent blogpost about that feature in Cocoa.
