> A tiny get function', similar to Lodash.get

✨ Features

- Zero dependencies!
- Super tiny, at ~200 bytes gzipped
- Works almost exactly like Lodash.get
- Ultra speedy! Check out the performance tests

🔧 Installation

Add dash-get to your project via npm install:

``
npm install --save dash-get
`

🕹 Usage

You can easily retrieve a value from a (deeply) nested object with dash-get, like so:

`js
import get from 'dash-get'

const someObject = {...}

const deeplyNestedValue = get(someObject, 'the.path.to.the.nested.value')
// value
`

The path could also be an Array:

`js
const someObject = {...}

const deeplyNestedValue = get(someObject, ['the', 'path', 'to', 'the', 'nested', 'value'])
// value
`

🎬 API

#### get(obj, path, fallback)

| Argument | Type | Description |
| -------- | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| obj | Object | The object to get the value from. |
| path | Array/string | The path to the value. |
| fallback | any | The fallback value, in case the desired value could not be retrieved. |

👻 Unsupported feature

This module does not support this particular use case:

`
get(object, 'a[0].b.c')
`

🤔 Why an npm module tho?

You totally don't have to npm install this. This exists for convenience purposes 😊.

In fact, it's encouraged that you add the get code to your code base! One less depenency to install and manage.

Here it is!

`js
function get(obj, path, fallback) {
if (!obj || !path) return fallback;
const paths = Array.isArray(path) ? path : path.split(".");
let results = obj;
let i = 0;

while (i < paths.length && results !== undefined && results !== null) {
results = results[paths[i]];
i++;
}

if (i === paths.length) {
return results !== undefined ? results : fallback;
}

return results !== undefined && results !== null ? results : fallback;
}
``
