Node.js module to convert nested object to flatten or expand.

objnest

Convert nested object to flatten or expand.

{foo.bar: 'baz'} <=> {foo: {bar: 'baz'}}

Installation

npm install objnest --save

Usage

Flatten Object Properties

Convert nested object into flatten structure.

'use strict'

const objnest = require('objnest')
let flattened = objnest.flatten({
    'foo': {'bar': 'baz'}
})
console.log(flattened) // => {'foo.bar': 'baz'}

Expand Object Properties

Convert flattened object into nested structure.

'use strict'

const objnest = require('objnest')
let expanded = objnest.expand({
    'foo.bar': 'baz'
})
console.log(expanded) // => {foo: {bar: 'baz'}}

Tips

Handling Array

Brackets with numbers are parsed as array.

'use strict'

const objnest = require('objnest')
let flattened = objnest.flatten({
  'foo': { 'bar': [ 'baz0', 'baz1' ] }
})
console.log(flattened) // => {'foo.bar[0]': 'baz0', 'foo.bar[1]': 'baz1'}

'use strict'

const objnest = require('objnest')
let expanded = objnest.expand({
  'foo.bar[0]': 'baz0',
  'foo.bar[1]': 'baz1'
})
console.log(expanded) // => {foo: bar:['baz0', 'baz1']}}
