methods
.get(object, pointer, [options]) -> value
Finds the value in object as specified by pointer.
console.log('result:', pointer.get({ a: 1 }, '/a'));
// result: 1
console.log('result:', pointer.get({ a: 1 }, '/b'));
// result: undefined.set(object, pointer, value, [options]) -> object
Sets the location in object, specified by pointer, to value.
Returns the modified object.
var obj = { a: 1 };
console.log('result:', pointer.set(obj, '/a', 2));
// result: { a: 2 }
console.log('result:', pointer.set(obj, '/b', 3));
// result: { a: 2, b: 3 }
console.log('result:', pointer.set(obj, '/c/0/a', 4));
// result: { a: 2, b: 3, c: [ { a: 4 } ] }
console.log('result:', pointer.set(obj, '/c/-/b', 5));
// result: { a: 2, b: 3, c: [ { a: 4 }, { b: 5 } ] }.has(object, pointer, [options]) -> Boolean
Returns true iff the location, specified by pointer, exists in object.
console.log('result:', pointer.has({ a: 1 }, '/a'));
// result: true
console.log('result:', pointer.has({ a: 1 }, '/b'));
// result: false.del(object, pointer, [options]) -> object/undefined
Removes the location, specified by pointer, from object.
Returns the modified object, or undefined if the pointer is empty.
var obj = { a: 1 };
console.log('result:', pointer.del(obj, '/b'));
// result: { a: 1 }
console.log('result:', pointer.del(obj, '/a'));
// result: {}
console.log('result:', pointer.del(obj, ''));
// result: undefined.escape(str) -> str
Escapes the given path segment as described by RFC6901.
Notably, '~''s are replaced with '~0' and '/''s are replaced with '~1'
console.log('result:', pointer.escape('abc'));
// result: abc
console.log('result:', pointer.escape('~'));
// result: ~0
console.log('result:', pointer.escape('/'));
// result: ~1.escapeFragment(str) -> str
Escapes the given path fragment segment as described by RFC6901.
Notably, '~''s are replaced with '~0' and '/''s are replaced with '~1' and finally the string is URI encoded.
console.log('result:', pointer.escapeFragment('a b'));
// result: a%20b.unescape(str) -> str
Un-Escapes the given path segment, reversing the actions of .escape
Notably, '~1''s are replaced with '/' and '~0''s are replaced with '~'
console.log('result:', pointer.unescape('abc'));
// result: abc
console.log('result:', pointer.unescape('~0'));
// result: ~
console.log('result:', pointer.unescape('~1'));
// result: /.unescapeFragment(str) -> str
Un-Escapes the given path fragment segment, reversing the actions of .escapeFragment.
Notably, the string is URI decoded and then '~1''s are replaced with '/' and '~0''s are replaced with '~'.
console.log('result:', pointer.unescapeFragment('a%20b'));
// result: a b.isPointer(str) -> Boolean
Returns true iff str is a valid json pointer value
console.log('result:', pointer.isPointer('/a'));
// result: true.isFragment(str) -> Boolean
Returns true iff str is a valid json fragment pointer value
console.log('result:', pointer.isFragment('#/'));
// result: true.parse(str) -> Array
Parses a json-pointer or json fragment pointer, as described by RFC901, into an array of path segments.
console.log('result:', pointer.parse('/abc'));
// result: [ 'abc' ]
console.log('result:', pointer.parse('#/abc'));
// result: [ 'abc' ].parsePointer(str) -> Array
Parses a json-pointer, as described by RFC901, into an array of path segments.
console.log('result:', pointer.parsePointer('/abc'));
// result: [ 'abc' ].parseFragment(str) -> Array
Parses a json-pointer or json fragment pointer, as described by RFC901, into an array of path segments.
console.log('result:', pointer.parseFragment('#/abc'));
// result: [ 'abc' ].compile(array) -> str
Converts an array of path segments into a json pointer.
This method is the reverse of .parsePointer
console.log('result:', pointer.compile([ 'abc' ]));
// result: /abc
console.log('result:', pointer.compile([ '~', '/', 'abc' ]));
// result: '/~0/~1/abc'
console.log('result:', pointer.compile([ '' ]));
// result: '/'
console.log('result:', pointer.compile([]));
// result:.compilePointer(array) -> str
Converts an array of path segments into a json pointer.
This method is the reverse of .parsePointer
console.log('result:', pointer.compilePointer([ 'abc' ]));
// result: /abc.compileFragment(array) -> str
Converts an array of path segments into a json pointer.
This method is the reverse of .compileFragment
console.log('result:', pointer.compileFragment([ 'abc' ]));
// result: #/abcpointer(object, [pointer, [value]]) -> pointer/value/object
Convenience function for choosing between .smartBind, .get, and .set, depending on the number of arguments.
var obj = { a: 1 };
console.log('result:', pointer(obj, '/a', 2));
// result: { a: 2 }
console.log('result:', pointer(obj, '/a'));
// result: 2
var bound = pointer(obj);
console.log('result:', bound.get('/a'));
// result: 2
console.log('result:', bound('/a'));
// result: 2
console.log('result:', bound.set('/a', 3));
// result: { a: 3 }
console.log('result:', bound('/a', 4));
// result: { a: 4 }.smartBind(bindings) -> pointer
Creates a clone of the api, with ./.get/.has/.set/.del/.smartBind method signatures adjusted.
var obj = { a: 1 };
console.log('result:', pointer.smartBind({ object: obj })('/a'));
// result: 1
console.log('result:', pointer.smartBind({ object: obj }).get('/a'));
// result: 1
console.log('result:', pointer.smartBind({ pointer: '/a' }).get(obj));
// result: 1
console.log('result:', pointer.smartBind({ object: obj }).smartBind({ pointer: '/a' }).get());
// result: 1bound.pointer(str) -> strings
get/set bound pointer value
bound.fragment(str) -> strings
get/set bound pointer value as fragment
bound.object(str) -> strings
get/set bound object
bound.options(str) -> strings
get/set bound options
.hasJsonProp(object, key) -> Boolean
Returns true iff obj contains key and obj is either an Array or an Object.
Ignores the prototype chain.
Default value for options.hasProp.
.hasOwnProp(object, key) -> Boolean
Returns true iff obj contains key, disregarding the prototype chain.
.hasProp(object, key) -> Boolean
Returns true iff obj contains key, including via the prototype chain.
.getProp(object, key) -> value
Finds the given key in obj.
Default value for options.getProp.
.setProp(object, key, value) -> value
Sets the given key in obj to value.
Default value for options.setProp.
.getNotFound(object, segment, root, segments, iSegment) -> value
Returns the value to use when .get fails to locate a pointer segment.
Default value for options.getNotFound.
.setNotFound(object, segment, root, segments, iSegment) -> value
Returns the value to use when .set fails to locate a pointer segment.
Default value for options.setNotFound.
.delNotFound(object, segment, root, segments, iSegment) -> value
Performs an action when .del fails to locate a pointer segment.
Default value for options.delNotFound.
.errorNotFound(object, segment, root, segments, iSegment) -> n/a
Raises a JsonPointerError when the given pointer segment is not found.
May be used in place of the above methods via the options argument of ./.get/.set/.has/.del/.simpleBind.
try {
console.log('result:', pointer.get({a: 1}, '/b', {getNotFound: pointer.errorNotFound}));
}
catch (ex)
{
console.log(ex.name, ':', ex.message);
}
// exception: JsonPointerError : Unable to find json path: /b
console.log('result:', pointer.get([1,2,3], '/length'));
// result: undefined
console.log('result:', pointer.get([1,2,3], '/length', { hasProp: pointer.hasOwnProp }));
// result: 3
console.log('result:', pointer.get([1,2,3], '/length', { hasProp: pointer.hasProp }));
// result: 3
console.log('result:', pointer.get([1,2,3], '/push'));

// result: undefined
console.log('result:', pointer.get([1,2,3], '/push', { hasProp: pointer.hasProp }));
