propertyOf

INFO

This function is only available in es-toolkit/compat for compatibility reasons. It either has alternative native JavaScript APIs or isn’t fully optimized yet.

When imported from es-toolkit/compat, it behaves exactly like lodash and provides the same functionalities, as detailed here.

Creates a function that returns the value at a given path of an object.

Unlike property, which creates a function bound to a specific path and allows you to query different objects, propertyOf creates a function bound to a specific object and allows you to query different paths within that object.

Signature

typescript
function propertyOf(object: unknown): (path: PropertyKey | PropertyKey[]) => unknown;

Parameters

  • object (unknown): The object to query.

Returns

((path: PropertyKey | PropertyKey[]) => unknown): Returns a new function that takes a path and retrieves the value from the object at the specified path.

Examples

typescript
const getValue = propertyOf({ a: { b: { c: 3 } } });
const result = getValue('a.b.c');
console.log(result); // => 3

const getValue = propertyOf({ a: { b: { c: 3 } } });
const result = getValue(['a', 'b', 'c']);
console.log(result); // => 3
