fng-object-path-utils

A stripped down version of chaijs libraries to give both front and backend path parse and value retrieval functionality without having to compile libraries with Browserify etc.

Usage

As with chaijs (and filtr which uses the same code), usage is a string path to the desired property.

var data = {
    nested: [
        {'body': 'foobar'}
    ]
};

ObjectPathUtils.getValue('nested[0].body', data);
// 'foobar'

Compatibility

Module written to work in nodejs, vanilla frontend and angularjs.

Vanilla

<script src="fm-object-path-utils.js"></script>
<script>
    var data = {
        nested: [
            {'body': 'foobar'}
        ]
    };

    ObjectPathUtils.getValue('nested[0].body', data);
    // 'foobar'
</script>

NodeJS

var ObjectPathUtils = require('./fm-object-path-utils'),

    data = {
        nested: [
            {'body': 'foobar'}
        ]
    };

ObjectPathUtils.getValue('nested[0].body', data);
// 'foobar'

AngularJS

angular.module('myApp', ['fng.utils.object.path'])
    .controller(function (ObjectPathUtils) {
        var data = {
            nested: [
                {'body': 'foobar'}
            ]
        };

        ObjectPathUtils.getValue('nested[0].body', data);
        // 'foobar'
    });
