ObjectPath

Parse js object paths using both dot and bracket notation. Stringify an array of properties into a valid path.

• parse JS object reference fragments
• build JS object reference fragments
• supports presence of unicode characters
• supports presence of control characters in key names

Parse a Path

ObjectPath.parse(str)

var ObjectPath = require('objectpath');
 
ObjectPath.parse('a[1].b.c.d["e"]["f-f"].g');
// => ['a','1','b','c','d','e','f-f','g']

Build a Path String

ObjectPath.stringify(arr, [quote="'"], [forceQuote=false]);

var ObjectPath = require('objectpath');
 
ObjectPath.stringify(['a','1','b','c','d-d','e']);
// => "a[1].b.c['d-d'].e"
 
 
ObjectPath.stringify(['a','1','b','c','d-d','e'],'"');
// => 'a[1].b.c["d-d"].e'
 
 
ObjectPath.stringify(['a','1','b','c','d-d','e'],"'", true);
// => "['a']['1']['b']['c']['d-d']['e']"

Normalize a Path

ObjectPath.normalize(str, [quote="'"], [forceQuote=false])

var ObjectPath = require('objectpath');
 
ObjectPath.normalize('a[1].b.c.d["e"]["f-f"].g');
// => "a[1].b.c.d.e['f-f'].g"
 
ObjectPath.normalize('a[1].b.c.d["e"]["f-f"].g', '"');
// => 'a[1].b.c.d.e["f-f"].g'
 
ObjectPath.normalize('a[1].b.c.d["e"]["f-f"].g', "'", true);
// => "['a']['1']['b']['c']['d']['e']['f-f']['g']"
