            {
                name: {
                    firstName: 'Sridhar3',

        ]
    }
}

//Just String to get all Object
console.log(obj.resolveByPaths('*'));

//Just an indexed number in case of Array
console.log(obj.resolveByPaths(0));

//Just like query String
console.log(obj.resolveByPaths('*patients[1].*lastName'));

//Single Object
console.log(obj.resolveByPaths({'all': '*'}));

//Array of Objects
console.log(
    obj.resolveByPaths(
    [
      {'name': '*name'},
      {'firstName': 'services.*.*users.*firstName'},
      {'lastName': '*patients[0].*lastName'},
      {'lastName': '*patients[1].*lastName'},
      {'allLastNames': '*lastName'},
      {'patient.lastName': '*users[0].*lastName'}
    ]
    )
);
