js-object-util
===============

A simple static utility class to access nested JSON object properties. Inspired by Immutable API methods like hasIn, getIn and setIn.

## Installation

The package is available at npmjs, so all you need to do to install it is to tell npm that you want it:

`npm install js-object-util`

You can find linkes to try it online etc at https://www.npmjs.com/package/js-object-util

## Usage

var objectUtil = require('js-object-util');

// Some deeply nested JSON example input:
var book = {
publisher: {
name: "dpunkt",
address: {
city: "Heidelberg",
plz: 69123
}
},
title : "React",
year: 2015,
properties: {
includes_ebook: false,
whatever: null,
dunno: undefined
},
readers: [
{
type: "user",
name: "Johnny",
age: 32,
nickname: null
},
{
type: "user",
name: "Brad",
age: 13,
nickname: "Bratze"
}
]
};

// Let's go. Checking for properties:
var keyExists;
keyExists = objectUtil.hasIn(book, ['publisher', 'address', 'city']); // true
keyExists = objectUtil.hasIn(book, ['publisher', 'address', 'notthere']); // false
// Retrieving properties:
var value;
value = ObjectUtil.getIn(book, ['year']); // 2015
value = objectUtil.getIn(book, ['readers', 1, 'name']); // Brad
value = objectUtil.getIn(book, ['readers', 5, 'notthere'], null); // null
// Setting properties:
var new_book;
new_book = ObjectUtil.setIn(book, ['readers', 2, 'name'], 'Dan');
new_book = ObjectUtil.setIn(new_book, ['readers', 2, 'age'], 14);
