getArrayFromProperty(
      property: string,
      objects
): any[]

Returns array of values of property found in each of objects.
property is a string that can include dot-notation ( 'property.subproperty.subsubproperty' ) .

Note: property does not have to be an object key. It can also be an array index.
If getting the values of array indexes, here you need to use dot-notation and not
square braces. Example: '1.0' instead of [1][0]

Examples

let people = [
    {name:'Tom', age: 20},
    {name:'Ron', age: 40},
    {name:'Hank', age: 70},
];
getArrayFromProperty('name', people);
   // --> [ 'Tom', 'Ron', 'Hank' ]


let people = [
    {name: {first: 'Tom', last: 'Johnson'}},
    {name: {first: 'Ron', last: 'Thompson'}},
    {name: {first: 'Hank', last: 'Lawrence'}},
];
let names = getArrayFromProperty('name.last', people);
   // --> [ 'Johnson', 'Thompson', 'Lawrence' ]


let numbers = [
	[1,2,3,4],
	[5,6,7,8],
	[9,10,11,12]
];
getArrayFromProperty('1', numbers);
   // --> [ 2, 6, 10 ]


let numbers = [
	[[1,2], [3,4]],
	[[5,6], [7,8]],
	[[9,10], [11,12]]
];
getArrayFromProperty('1.0', numbers);
   // --> [ 3, 7, 11 ]
