do-deep

Functions to access properties of nested objects. Reading and modifying values work very similar to what how things normally work. Things work differently if a property along the path does not exist:

• dd.get will return undefined
• dd.set will create the objects it needs to assign the value to the final property

There are two ways to address a property:

1. By a string, similar to what you'd write in JavaScript. Here, camel-casing is enforced
2. With an array of property names. Here you can use any kind of strings.

Usage

var dd = require("do-deep")

var someObject = {} // you probably want some data here, but do-deep can live without
var nestedValue = dd.get(someObject, "a.a.a")
var otherNestedValue = dd.get(someObject, ["b"]["b"]["b"])

dd.set(someObject, "a.b.b", "c")
// returns 3, because 3 properties were changed (two objects created, one string assigned)

var nextLetter = {"a":"b"}
dd.set(nextLetter, "a", "b")
// returns 0, to inform that no change was made to the object at all.

There's also increment, decrement.

dd.increment(object, "c.c", 2) increases the value in object.c.c by 2.
