var mb=p=>o=>p.map(c=>o=(o||{})[c])&&o

Alternatively, you can download mb.js.

Use

var getHello = mb(["a", "b", 0, "hello"]);
var getHelloLength = mb(["a", "b", 0, "hello", "length"]);

var obj1 = {
  a: {
    b: [{ hello: "world" }]
  }
};

var obj2 = {
  c: {
    d: "e"
  }
};

getHello(obj1); // world
getHelloLength(obj1); // 5

getHello(obj2); // undefined
getHelloLength(obj2); // undefined
