Create an inverse function

Turn an object into the minimal set of key paths and values.

Hey, I'm not sure if I'm understanding correctly.

Are you looking to get the deeply-nested values via a keypath? If so, then dlv covers that for you.

Or, are you wanting to convert an object into a flat object with values?

let obj = {
  a: 1,
  b: {
    c: 3,
    d: {
      e: 5
    }
  }
}

//=>

{
  a: 1,
  'b.c': 3,
  'b.d.e': 5
}

If that's the case, then you can use flat-obj and change the glue to '.' (or whatever you want).

Ah, @lukeed you already did this! 😂 Amazing you come up with some many useful, specific utilities. True skill you have. Very cool.

BTW I meant your second case. So https://github.com/lukeed/flat-obj covers that for objects. Does it also work if arrays are in the structure?

Haha, thanks! There are lots of them I learned (over time) but I just write things that I need when I needed them, especially when I was getting started. I think that module was one of my first modules ever, too

It will handle array keys but the initial item has to be an object
