object-dive

object-dive

object-dive is a tiny module that searches an object for a specified property. If the property is found, its value is returned, otherwise it returns undefined.

Installation

Run npm install object-dive to install.

Basic usage

This way allows for reusable dot paths:

var od = require('object-dive')
var pattern = od('levelOne.levelTwo');
var obj = {
  levelOne : {
    levelTwo: 'You found me. Have some cake, the cake is a lie'
  }
};

console.log(pattern(obj)); // -> 'You found me. Have some cake, the cake is a lie'

There is an alternate syntax that can be used. If the second argument passed in is an object, the function will return the result of the dive immediately.

var objectSearch = require('object-dive');
var obj = {
  levelOne : {
    levelTwo: 'You found me. Have some cake, the cake is a lie'
  }
};

var result = od('levelOne.leveTwo', obj);
console.log(result); // -> 'You found me. Have some cake, the cake is a lie'

Tests

To run the tests you must npm install then npm test from root directory.
