I have
data =
{
'first': {
'number': 1,
'text': 'Ya.'
},
'second': {
'number': 10,
'text': 'Da.'
}
};
And I really want to access it like:
number = data['first.number'];
Actually in a more flexible way, like:
numberOrText = data[memberName+'.'+propertyName];
Is there any lightweight library, or snippet you can suggest? This is - https://github.com/martinvl/KVCObject - so cool, but a bit overhead for this.
Based on @dandavis pretty simple suggestions, I can set up accessors as prototype properties.
No eval
, also leave Object.prototype
untouched in terms of enumerating using Object.defineProperty
.
The solution actually goes like this:
function stringContains(string, value)
{ return string.indexOf(value) != -1; }
Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, "setValueForKey", { value: function(value, key)
{ this[key] = value; }});
Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, "setValueForKeyPath", { value: function(value, keyPath)
{
if (keyPath == null) return;
if (stringContains(keyPath, '.') == false) { this.setValueForKey(value, keyPath); return; }
var chain = keyPath.split('.');
var firstKey = chain.shift();
var shiftedKeyPath = chain.join('.');
this[firstKey].setValueForKeyPath(value, shiftedKeyPath);
}});
Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, "getValueForKey", { value: function(key)
{ return this[key]; }});
Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, "getValueForKeyPath", { value: function(keyPath)
{
if (keyPath == null) return;
if (stringContains(keyPath, '.') == false) { return this.getValueForKey(keyPath); }
var chain = keyPath.split('.');
var firstKey = chain.shift();
var shiftedKeyPath = chain.join('.');
return this[firstKey].getValueForKeyPath(shiftedKeyPath);
}});
Test are fine:
data = {
'name' : 'data',
'first': {
'number': 1,
'text': 'Ya.',
'meta' : {
'lang' : 'en'
}
},
'second': {
'number': 10,
'text': 'Ba.',
'meta' : {
'lang' : 'en'
}
},
'third': {
'number': 100,
'text': 'Da.',
'meta' : {
'lang' : 'hu'
}
}
};
data.setValueForKey('chunk', 'name');
data.setValueForKeyPath('blob', 'name');
var thirdLanguage = data.getValueForKeyPath('third.meta.lang');
data.setValueForKeyPath(thirdLanguage, 'first.meta.lang');
data.setValueForKeyPath(thirdLanguage, 'second.meta.lang');
log(data);
Output is the same with hu
as language in every data member.
