# ✊ (dash) get
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/ItsJonQ/dash-get.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/ItsJonQ/dash-get)
[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/dash-get.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/dash-get)
> A tiny get function', similar to Lodash.get
## ✨ Features
- **Zero dependencies**!
- Super tiny, at ~200 bytes gzipped
- Works almost exactly like [Lodash.get](https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.11#get)
- Ultra speedy! Check out the [performance tests](https://jsperf.com/get-try-catch-vs-reduce-vs-lodash-get)
## 🔧 Installation
Add `dash-get` to your project via `npm install`:
```
npm install --save dash-get
```
## 🕹 Usage
You can easily retrieve a value from a (deeply) nested object with `dash-get`, like so:
```js
import get from 'dash-get'
const someObject = {...}
const deeplyNestedValue = get(someObject, 'the.path.to.the.nested.value')
// value
```
The path could also be an `Array`:
```js
const someObject = {...}
const deeplyNestedValue = get(someObject, ['the', 'path', 'to', 'the', 'nested', 'value'])
// value
```
## 🎬 API
#### `get(obj, path, fallback)`
| Argument | Type | Description |
| -------- | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| obj | `Object` | The object to get the value from. |
| path | `Array<string>`/`string` | The path to the value. |
| fallback | `any` | The fallback value, in case the desired value could not be retrieved. |
## 👻 Unsupported feature
This module does not support this particular use case:
```
get(object, 'a[0].b.c')
```
## 🤔 Why an npm module tho?
You totally don't have to `npm install` this. This exists for convenience purposes 😊.
In fact, it's encouraged that you add the `get` code to your code base! One less depenency to install and manage.
Here it is!
```js
function get(obj, path, fallback) {
if (!obj || !path) return fallback;
const paths = Array.isArray(path) ? path : path.split(".");
let results = obj;
let i = 0;
while (i < paths.length && results !== undefined && results !== null) {
results = results[paths[i]];
i++;
}
if (i === paths.length) {
return results !== undefined ? results : fallback;
}
return results !== undefined && results !== null ? results : fallback;
}
```
