Learn Lodash: _.get, Get an Item From an Object

According to the lodash documentation, _.get gets the value at the path of the object. If the resolved value is undefined, the defaultValue is returned in its place.

Arguments

• object (Object): The object to query.
• path (Array or string): The path of the property to get.
• defaultValue (*): The value returned for undefined resolved values.

Returns

• (*): Returns the resolved value.

Real World Example

You work at a car dealership and your boss asks you to get the color of a car. He tells you the parking lot to get it from (the object you're searching) and then writes exactly where it is. row1[0].color, he could also give you this direction as an array ["row1", "[0]", "color"]. If there is no color he tells you to tell him "no color found" (the default value). You follow his instructions and return "red".

Examples

var object = { "a": [{ "b": { "c": 3 } }] }

get(object, "a[0].b.c")  ➞ 3

get(object, ["a", "0", "b", "c"])  ➞ 3

get(object, "a.b.c", "default") ➞ "default"
