# `dlv(obj, keypath)` [](https://npmjs.com/package/dlv) [](https://travis-ci.org/developit/dlv)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Safely get a dot-notated path within a nested object, with ability to return a default if the full key path does not exist or the value is undefined
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Why?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Smallest possible implementation: only **130 bytes.**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You could write this yourself, but then you'd have to write [tests].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Supports ES Modules, CommonJS and globals.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`npm install --save dlv`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`delve(object, keypath, [default])`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
import delve from 'dlv';
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let obj = {
|
||
|
|
a: {
|
||
|
|
b: {
|
||
|
|
c: 1,
|
||
|
|
d: undefined,
|
||
|
|
e: null
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
//use string dot notation for keys
|
||
|
|
delve(obj, 'a.b.c') === 1;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
//or use an array key
|
||
|
|
delve(obj, ['a', 'b', 'c']) === 1;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
delve(obj, 'a.b') === obj.a.b;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
//returns undefined if the full key path does not exist and no default is specified
|
||
|
|
delve(obj, 'a.b.f') === undefined;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
//optional third parameter for default if the full key in path is missing
|
||
|
|
delve(obj, 'a.b.f', 'foo') === 'foo';
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
//or if the key exists but the value is undefined
|
||
|
|
delve(obj, 'a.b.d', 'foo') === 'foo';
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
//Non-truthy defined values are still returned if they exist at the full keypath
|
||
|
|
delve(obj, 'a.b.e', 'foo') === null;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
//undefined obj or key returns undefined, unless a default is supplied
|
||
|
|
delve(undefined, 'a.b.c') === undefined;
|
||
|
|
delve(undefined, 'a.b.c', 'foo') === 'foo';
|
||
|
|
delve(obj, undefined, 'foo') === 'foo';
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

### Setter Counterparts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [dset](https://github.com/lukeed/dset) by [@lukeed](https://github.com/lukeed) is the spiritual "set" counterpart of `dlv` and very fast.
|
||
|
|
- [bury](https://github.com/kalmbach/bury) by [@kalmbach](https://github.com/kalmbach) does the opposite of `dlv` and is implemented in a very similar manner.
