NOTE: This project is no longer maintained.

Please use node-obj-resolve instead. Further development will be on that npm package. You can use the straight-node version in Meteor apps like this:

$ npm install --save obj-resolve

import resolve from 'obj-resolve'

//...

resolve(obj, "foo.bar.baz")

Description

Resolve a value given an object and a path representing how to traverse its object graph.

Can also set values on existing objects.

Example

var obj = {
  foo: [
    {bar: "baz"}
  ]
};

Util.resolve(obj, "foo[0].bar");   // => "baz"
Util.resolve(obj, "hem[0].bar");   // => undefined
Util.resolve(obj, "name", "Mary");   // => "Mary"
