Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

This command installs the `object-path` library using Bower, a package manager for the web, and saves it as a dependency. This method is typically used for front-end web development.

```bash
bower install object-path --save
```

--------------------------------

### Installing object-path with npm

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

This command installs the `object-path` library as a dependency in a Node.js project using npm, saving it to the `package.json` file. This is the recommended installation method for Node.js applications.

```bash
npm install object-path --save
```

--------------------------------

### Installing object-path TypeScript typings

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

This command installs the TypeScript declaration files for the `object-path` library using the `typings` tool, saving them as a dependency. These typings provide type definitions for TypeScript projects, enabling better autocompletion and type checking.

```bash
typings install --save dt~object-path
```

### Binding Objects for Chained Operations with object-path in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

Demonstrates how to bind an object to the `object-path` instance, allowing subsequent method calls (like `get`, `set`, `del`, `has`) to operate directly on the bound object without needing to pass it as the first argument. This enables a more fluent API style.

```javascript
//bind object
var model = objectPath({
  a: {
    b: "d",
    c: ["e", "f"]
  }
});

//now any method from above is supported directly w/o passing an object
model.get("a.b");  //returns "d"
model.get(["a.c.b"], "DEFAULT");  //returns "DEFAULT"
model.del("a.b"); // obj.a.b is now undefined
model.has("a.b"); // false
```

--------------------------------

### Getting Deep Properties with object-path in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

Demonstrates how to retrieve values from deeply nested properties using `objectPath.get()`. It supports both string path notation and array path notation, handles unicode and dot-in-key properties, and allows specifying a default return value for non-existent paths.

```javascript
//get deep property
objectPath.get(obj, "a.b");  //returns "d"
objectPath.get(obj, ["a", "dot.dot"]);  //returns "key"
objectPath.get(obj, 'a.\u1200');  //returns "unicode key"

//works also with arrays
objectPath.get(obj, "a.c.1");  //returns "f"
objectPath.get(obj, ["a","c","1"]);  //returns "f"

//can return a default value with get
objectPath.get(obj, ["a.c.b"], "DEFAULT");  //returns "DEFAULT", since a.c.b path doesn't exists, if omitted, returns undefined
```

--------------------------------

### Accessing Inherited Properties with Configured object-path in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

This snippet demonstrates how to use an `object-path` instance configured to include inherited properties (e.g., `objectPath.withInheritedProps`). When using this instance, `get()` will successfully retrieve values from the prototype chain, and `set()` will modify the property on the prototype if it's inherited.

```javascript
var proto = {
  notOwn: {prop: 'a'}
}
var obj = Object.create(proto);

//This will return 'a'
objectPath.withInheritedProps.get(obj, 'notOwn.prop');

//This will set proto.notOwn.prop to 'b'
objectPath.set(obj, 'notOwn.prop', 'b');
```

--------------------------------

### Initializing Object and object-path Library in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

This snippet initializes a sample JavaScript object with nested properties, including special characters and dot-notation keys, and imports the `object-path` library for subsequent operations.

```javascript
var obj = {
  a: {
    b: "d",
    c: ["e", "f"],
    '\u1200': 'unicode key',
    'dot.dot': 'key'
  }
};

var objectPath = require("object-path");
```

--------------------------------

### Configuring object-path for Inherited Properties (Create) in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

Shows how to create a new `object-path` instance configured to include inherited properties. By passing `{includeInheritedProps: true}` to `objectPath.create()`, the new instance will traverse the prototype chain when accessing properties.

```javascript
var objectPath = require("object-path");
var objectPathWithInheritedProps = objectPath.create({includeInheritedProps: true})
```

--------------------------------

### Using Pre-configured object-path for Inherited Properties in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

Demonstrates how to access the `objectPath.withInheritedProps` instance, which is a pre-configured `object-path` instance designed to handle inherited properties without needing explicit creation.

```javascript
var objectPath = require("object-path");
var objectPathWithInheritedProps = objectPath.withInheritedProps
```

--------------------------------

### Ensuring Path Existence with object-path in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

Demonstrates `objectPath.ensureExists()`, which verifies if a path exists within an object. If the path does not exist, it sets the path to a provided default value; otherwise, it returns the existing value at that path.

```javascript
//ensure a path exists (if it doesn't, set the default value you provide)
objectPath.ensureExists(obj, "a.k.1", "DEFAULT");
var oldVal = objectPath.ensureExists(obj, "a.b", "DEFAULT"); // oldval === "d"
```

--------------------------------

### Pushing into Arrays with object-path in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

Shows `objectPath.push()`, which appends a value to an array at the specified path. If the path does not exist, it will create necessary intermediate objects or arrays to ensure the array can be pushed into.

```javascript
//push into arrays (and create intermediate objects/arrays)
objectPath.push(obj, "a.k", "o");
```

--------------------------------

### Setting Deep Properties with object-path in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

Demonstrates `objectPath.set()`, which assigns a value to a specified path. This method is capable of creating intermediate objects or arrays if the path does not fully exist, ensuring the target path is valid before setting the value.

```javascript
//set
objectPath.set(obj, "a.h", "m"); // or objectPath.set(obj, ["a","h"], "m");
objectPath.get(obj, "a.h");  //returns "m"

//set will create intermediate object/arrays
objectPath.set(obj, "a.j.0.f", "m");
```

--------------------------------

### Handling Inherited Properties (Default) with object-path in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

This snippet illustrates `object-path`'s default behavior regarding inherited properties. By default, `objectPath.get()` will return `undefined` for inherited properties, and `objectPath.set()` will create an own property on the instance rather than modifying the prototype.

```javascript
var proto = {
  notOwn: {prop: 'a'}
}
var obj = Object.create(proto);

//This will return undefined (or the default value you specified), because notOwn is
//an inherited property
objectPath.get(obj, 'notOwn.prop');

//This will set the property on the obj instance and not the prototype.
//In other words proto.notOwn.prop === 'a' and obj.notOwn.prop === 'b'
objectPath.set(obj, 'notOwn.prop', 'b');
```

--------------------------------

### Checking Path Existence with object-path in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

Shows `objectPath.has()`, which checks for the existence of a property at a given path. It returns `true` if the path exists and `false` otherwise, supporting both string and array path notations.

```javascript
//tests path existence
objectPath.has(obj, "a.b"); // true
objectPath.has(obj, ["a","d"]); // false
```

--------------------------------

### Inserting into Arrays with object-path in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

Illustrates `objectPath.insert()`, which adds a value into an array at a specific index. This method modifies the array in place, shifting existing elements to accommodate the new value.

```javascript
//will insert values in array
objectPath.insert(obj, "a.c", "m", 1); // obj.a.c = ["e", "m", "f"]
```

--------------------------------

### Emptying Properties with object-path in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

Shows how `objectPath.empty()` clears the value at a specified path without deleting the property itself. It sets strings to empty string, arrays to empty array, and objects to empty object, retaining references for objects and arrays.

```javascript
//empty a given path (but do not delete it) depending on their type,so it retains reference to objects and arrays.
//functions that are not inherited from prototype are set to null.
//object instances are considered objects and just own property names are deleted
objectPath.empty(obj, 'a.b'); // obj.a.b is now ''
objectPath.empty(obj, 'a.c'); // obj.a.c is now []
objectPath.empty(obj, 'a'); // obj.a is now {}
```

--------------------------------

### Coalescing Values with object-path in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

Illustrates the `objectPath.coalesce()` method, which returns the first non-undefined value found among a list of specified paths. If all paths resolve to `undefined`, it returns the provided default value.

```javascript
//get the first non-undefined value
objectPath.coalesce(obj, ['a.z', 'a.d', ['a','b']], 'default');
```

--------------------------------

### Deleting Properties with object-path in JavaScript

Source: https://github.com/mariocasciaro/object-path/blob/master/README.md

Illustrates `objectPath.del()`, which removes a property at the specified path from an object. After deletion, the property at that path will be `undefined`.

```javascript
//deletes a path
objectPath.del(obj, "a.b"); // obj.a.b is now undefined
objectPath.del(obj, ["a","c",0]); // obj.a.c is now ['f']
```
