Manipulating Key Paths

Components

const components = keyd.components('my.key.path');
/* -> ['my','key','path'] */

Throws an error if input is not a string.

Joining

const keyPath = keyd.join(['my','key','path']);
/* -> 'my.key.path' */

Throws an error if input is not an array.

Appending Keys

const keyPath = keyd.append('my.key', 'path');
/* -> 'my.key.path' */

or

const keyPath = keyd.append('my', ['key', 'path']);
/* -> 'my.key.path' */

Both inputs can be either strings or arrays.

Last

Getting

const lastComponent = keyd.last('my.key.path');
/* -> 'path' */

Input can be a string or an array.

Removing

const keyPath = keyd.eatLast('my.key.path');
/* -> 'my.key' */

Input can be a string or an array.

First

Getting

const firstComponent = keyd.first('my.key.path');
/* -> 'my' */

Input can be a string or an array.

Removing

const keyPath = keyd.eatFirst('my.key.path');
/* -> 'key.path' */

or

const keyPath = keyd.eatFirst('my.key.path', 'my.key');
/* -> 'path' */

Input can be a string or an array.

Latter example with throw an error if second key path is not within the first.

Match

const within = keyd.within('my.key.path', 'my.key');
/* -> true */
