Examples

//Example object
var a = {
    b : {
        c : {
            d : 1,
            e : 2
        }
    }
}

//Basic example
var d = objRef(a, 'b/c/d'); //d === 1

//We can use a custom separator
var e = objRef(a, 'b-c-e', '-'); // e === 2

//Build an object reference	
var f = objRef(a, 'b/c/f', '/', true);
var	abc = objRef(a, 'b/c');
    abc.f = 100; //a.b.c.f === 100; 
    
//Trailing separator
var d = objRef(a, 'b/c/d/'); //this will throw an error - Invalid path
