deep-property

Enables deep property manipulation and inspection without worrying about
exceptions.

Usage

``
npm install deep-property
`

`
var props = require('deep-property'),
sample = { };

props.set(sample, 'name.first', 'John');
props.set(sample, 'name.middle', 'C');
props.set(sample, 'name.last', 'Reilly');
props.set(sample, 'job.title', 'Actor');

props.get(sample, 'name.first'); // John
props.get(sample, 'name.middle'); // C
props.get(sample, 'name.last'); // Reilly
props.get(sample, 'job.title'); // Actor

props.remove(sample, 'name.middle'); // True

props.has(sample, 'name.first'); // True
props.has(sample, 'name.title'); // False
props.has(sample, 'job.title'); // True
props.has(sample, 'job.salary'); // False
`

`
// Resulting object
{
name: {
first: 'John',
last: 'Reilly'
},
job: {
title: 'Actor'
}
}

Paths

The path parameter of each function is dot-delimited string. Everything
between the dots is considered a property name. Paths can be as long and
complex as necessary, with the following constraints and assumptions:

- Paths will not recognize array indexes. Using a path like
'path.to.items[4].type' will include a lookup for an element
named items[4] (string) instead of an array element.
- Calls using invalid paths will result in the following:
- get: undefined
- set: No values (including intermediates) set
- has: false
- remove: false
- Paths with blank sections (path.to..nothing or path.to.nothing.`)
will be considered invalid.
