expand-value NPM version NPM monthly downloads NPM total downloads

Expand deeply nested values from an object, with support for advanced features.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

Install

Install with npm (requires Node.js >=14):

$ npm install --save expand-value

Usage

Similar to get-value and dot-prop (and passes all of the get-value unit tests), but supports more complex expressions for accessing deeply nested properties. For example, this library is used by Dry for resolving values in expressions in user-defined templates.

const expand = require('expand-value');

const data = { user: { name: 'Brian' }, key: 'name' };

console.log(expand(data, 'user.name')) //=> 'Brian'
console.log(expand(data, 'user["name"]')) //=> 'Brian'
console.log(expand(data, 'user[key]')) //=> 'Brian'

console.log(expand({ foo: { bar: { baz: 'correct' } } }, 'foo["bar"].baz')); //=> 'correct'

.parse

const { parse } = require('expand-value);
const { ast } = parse('a.b.c');

console.log(ast);

// results in
{
  type: 'root',
  nodes: [
    { type: 'ident', value: 'a' },
    { type: 'separator', value: '.' },
    { type: 'ident', value: 'b' },
    { type: 'separator', value: '.' },
    { type: 'ident', value: 'c' }
  ]
}
