object-get

Access nested property values at any depth with a simple expression.

Example

const objectGet = require('object-get')

const colour = objectGet(mammal, 'fur.appearance.colour')
const text = objectGet(el, 'children[2].children[1].children[1].textContent')

Helps avoid long logical expressions like:

const colour = mammal && mammal.fur && mammal.fur.appearance && mammal.fur.appearance.colour

objectGet(object, expression) ⇒ * ⏏

Returns the value at the given property.

Kind: Exported function
