deepdrain v1.1.3

deepdrain

deep is a utility function for traversing properties on objects and arrays.

If an intermediate property is either null or undefined, it is instead returned. The purpose of this function is to simplify extracting properties from a chain of maybe-typed properties.

This module exists as a stop-gap solution because JavaScript does not currently support optional chaining.

Simpler, smaller and faster than lodash/get , facebook's idx and rambda methods. Also f*ck underscore/propertyOf.

Install

npm

npm install deepdrain

yarn add deepdrain
