Usage

Example

var getsetdeep = require('getsetdeep')

// Prepare

	a: {
		b: {
			c: 3
		}
	}
}

// Get
getsetdeep.getDeep(obj, 'a.b.c')     // returns 3
getsetdeep.setDeep(obj, 'a.b.c', 4)  // returns 4
getsetdeep.getDeep(obj, 'a.b.c')     // returns 4

Notes

• setDeep also has a fourth argument called setOnlyIfEmpty which defaults to false, if specified to true then setDeep will only set the value if the current value is null or undefined
• We also work with Backbone Models (or rather any model that utilizes an attributes object)
