deepdash

Deepdash

Looking for eachDeep, filterDeep, omitDeep, keysDeep etc? Tree traversal extension for Lodash.

Methods

(links to docs)

• condense - condense sparse array
• condenseDeep - condense all the nested arrays
• eachDeep - (forEachDeep) iterate over all the children and sub-children
• exists - like a _.has but returns false for empty array slots
• filterDeep - deep filter object
• indexate - get an object with all the paths as keys and corresponding values
• omitDeep - get object without keys specified as string name or regex
• paths - (keysDeep) get an array of paths
• pathToString - convert an array to string path (opposite to _.toPath)

Installation

In a browser load script after Lodash:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/lodash/lodash.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/deepdash/deepdash.min.js"></script>

Using npm:

npm i --save deepdash

In Node.js (same for the Angular component):

//mixin new methods into Lodash object
const _ = require('deepdash')(require('lodash'));

Or as ECMAScript Module:

import lodash from "lodash";
import deepdash from "deepdash";
const _ = deepdash(lodash);

Usage

let obj = {
  a: {
    b: {
      c: {
        d: [
          { i: 0 },
          { i: 1 },
          { i: 2 },
          { i: 3 },
          { i: 4 },
          { i: 5 },
          {
            o: {
              d: new Date(),
              f: function() {},
              skip: {
                please: {
                  dont: {
                    go: {
                      here: 'skip it',
                    },
                  },
                },
              },
            },
          },
        ],
        s: 'hello',
      },
      b: true,
    },
    n: 12345,
    u: undefined,
  },
  nl: null,
};
_.eachDeep(obj, (value, key, path, depth, parent, parentKey, parentPath) => {
  console.log(
    _.repeat('  ', depth) +
      key +
      ':' +
      (value === null ? 'null' : typeof value),
    parentPath && ' @' + parentPath
  );
  if(key=="skip"){
    return false; // return false explicitly to skip iteration over current value's children
  }
});

Console:

a:object
  b:object  @a
    c:object  @a.b
      d:object  @a.b.c
        0:object  @a.b.c.d
          i:number  @a.b.c.d[0]
        1:object  @a.b.c.d
          i:number  @a.b.c.d[1]
        2:object  @a.b.c.d
          i:number  @a.b.c.d[2]
        3:object  @a.b.c.d
          i:number  @a.b.c.d[3]
        4:object  @a.b.c.d
          i:number  @a.b.c.d[4]
        5:object  @a.b.c.d
          i:number  @a.b.c.d[5]
        6:object  @a.b.c.d
          o:object  @a.b.c.d[6]
            d:object  @a.b.c.d[6].o
            f:function  @a.b.c.d[6].o
            skip:object  @a.b.c.d[6].o
      s:string  @a.b.c
    b:boolean  @a.b
  n:number  @a
  u:undefined  @a
nl:null

Chaining works too:

  _(obj).eachDeep((value, key, path, depth, parent, parentKey, parentPath) => {/* do */}).value();
