Get and set nested variables of an object, includes support for Backbone Models

## Usage

[Complete API Documentation.](http://master.getsetdeep.bevry.surge.sh/docs/)

### Example

```javascript
// Import
import { setDeep, getDeep } from 'getsetdeep'

// Prepare
const obj = {
a: {
b: {
c: 3,
},
},
}

// Get
console.log(getDeep(obj, 'a.b.c')) // 3
console.log(setDeep(obj, 'a.b.c', 4)) // 4
console.log(getDeep(obj, 'a.b.c')) // 4
```

### Notes

- `setDeep` also has a fourth argument `opts` for options, currently we support the options:
- `onlyIfEmpty` 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 getters `get(key)` and setters `set(attrs, opts)`, enabling support for Backbone.js models as well as others

### Security

To satisfy the egos of some security researchers, just as you wouldn't do `obj[prompt('some user input')] = 'value'` don't do `setDeep(obj, prompt('some user input'), 'value')`, [obviously](https://medium.com/intrinsic/javascript-prototype-poisoning-vulnerabilities-in-the-wild-7bc15347c96). Rather than `getsetdeep` preventing `__proto__` access, we assume the consumers of this library are intelligent enough to do what they intend.
