Simple Node.js package that extends Javascript's native Object with two helper methods getProperty and hasProperty. These methods take a dotted string to retrieve nested Object's properties. See the docs or blog post for more information.
npm install oprop
Returns true or false
require('oprop');
myobj = {a: {b: {c: 1}}};
myobj.hasProperty('a'); // true
myobj.hasProperty('a.b.c'); // true
myobj.hasProperty('b.c'); // false
myobj.hasProperty('a.b.c.d'); // false
Returns the object's property else undefined
require('oprop');
myobj = {a: {b: {c: 1}}};
myobj.getProperty('a'); // {b: {c: 1}}
myobj.getProperty('a.b.c'); // 1
myobj.getProperty('b.c'); // undefined
myobj.getProperty('a.b.c.d'); // undefined
npm test
Yes, yes it does, with a single getters for each method, and no it won't break your code, because it does this properly with a non-enumerable property. It's recommended not to install this plugin globally, so just skip the -g option during install and you'll be fine.
