If you want to strip the unnecessary keys from the object and also to keep it's structure you can pass an optional Boolean Variable.
var userNames = keysInObject(users, 'name', true);
console.log(userNames)
/*
{
id_1: {
name: 'John Doe'
},
id_2: {
name: 'Hohn Moe'
},
id_3: {
name: 'Joon Doo'
},
id_4: {
user_info: {
name: 'Johnny Foe'
}
}
}
*/
// Or if you request for user_info
var userInfo = keysInObject(users, 'user_info', true);
console.log(userInfo)
/*
{
id_4:{
user_info: {
name: 'Johnny Foe',
email: 'johnnyfoe@test.com'
}
}
}
*/
