object-maker

create object with string and map string to object

Installation

$ npm install --save object-maker

Usage

Create Object

If you want to generate deep complex object dynamically, you should use this library

import objectMaker from 'object-maker'
import merge from 'lodash.merge'

const info1 = objectMaker('package.author.email', '[e-mail]')
const info2 = objectMaker('package.author.gitRepo', 'https://github.com/borvelt')
merge(info1, info2)

// merged object
// Object{
//   package: {
//     author: {
//       email: "[e-mail]",
//       gitRepo: "https://github.com/borvelt",
//     }
//   }
// }

Map string to object

When you have a deep complex object and you need to access the deepest part it's good solution to make string and get equivalent of mapped string to object. see this example:

import {mapStringToObject} from 'object-maker'
const info = {
  package: {
      author: {
        email: "[e-mail]",
        gitRepo: "https://github.com/borvelt",
      }
  }
}
console.log(mapStringToObject('package.author.gitRepo', info))
// -> https://github.com/borvelt

Careful mapStringToObject works case-sensitive.

Test

run npm test it will pass all test cases.
