Getting started

const JsonKeys = require('@barreljs/json-keys')

.keys(json)

Returns all keys as an array of strings

Example

const keys = JsonKeys.keys({
    key: 'value',
    obj: {
        key: 'value'
    }
})

returns

['key', 'obj', 'key']

.uniqueKeys(json)

Returns all unique keys as an array of strings

Example

const keys = JsonKeys.uniqueKeys({
    key: 'value',
    obj: {
        key: 'value'
    }
})

returns

['key', 'obj']

.paths(json)

Returns all keys including their path in dot notation as an array of strings

Example

const paths = JsonKeys.paths({
    key: 'value',
    obj: {
        key: 'value'
    },
    arr: [
        {
            key: 'value'
        }
    ]
})

returns

['key', 'obj', 'obj.key', 'arr', 'arr.0', 'arr.0.key']

.hasKey(json, key)

checks if a path (or sub-path) in dot notation is part of a JSON object.

Example

// returns true
JsonKeys.hasKey({
    key: 'value',
    obj: {
        key: 'value'
    },
    arr: [
        {
            key: 'value'
        }
    ]
}, '0.key') 

// returns false
JsonKeys.hasKey({
    key: 'value',
    obj: {
        key: 'value'
    },
    arr: [
        {
            key: 'value'
        }
    ]
}, 'tree.doesNotExist')
