Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

✊ (dash) get

Build Status npm version

A tiny get function', similar to Lodash.get

✨ Features

🔧 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:

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:

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>/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!

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;
}

❤️ Thanks

Thanks to @knicklabs for pairing with me on this one!
