|
---|
| 5 | ## Install
|
---|
| 6 |
|
---|
| 7 | Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
|
---|
| 8 |
|
---|
| 9 | ```sh
|
---|
| 10 | $ npm install --save unset-value
|
---|
| 11 | ```
|
---|
| 12 |
|
---|
| 13 | ## Usage
|
---|
| 14 |
|
---|
| 15 | ```js
|
---|
| 16 | var unset = require('unset-value');
|
---|
| 17 |
|
---|
| 18 | var obj = {a: {b: {c: 'd', e: 'f'}}};
|
---|
| 19 | unset(obj, 'a.b.c');
|
---|
| 20 | console.log(obj);
|
---|
| 21 | //=> {a: {b: {e: 'f'}}};
|
---|
| 22 | ```
|
---|
| 23 |
|
---|
| 24 | ## Examples
|
---|
| 25 |
|
---|
| 26 | ### Updates the object when a property is deleted
|
---|
| 27 |
|
---|
| 28 | ```js
|
---|
| 29 | var obj = {a: 'b'};
|
---|
| 30 | unset(obj, 'a');
|
---|
| 31 | console.log(obj);
|
---|
| 32 | //=> {}
|
---|
| 33 | ```
|
---|
| 34 |
|
---|
| 35 | ### Returns true when a property is deleted
|
---|
| 36 |
|
---|
| 37 | ```js
|
---|
| 38 | unset({a: 'b'}, 'a') // true
|
---|
| 39 | ```
|
---|
| 40 |
|
---|
| 41 | ### Returns `true` when a property does not exist
|
---|
| 42 |
|
---|
| 43 | This is consistent with `delete` behavior in that it does not
|
---|
| 44 | throw when a property does not exist.
|
---|
| 45 |
|
---|
| 46 | ```js
|
---|
| 47 | unset({a: {b: {c: 'd'}}}, 'd') // true
|
---|
| 48 | ```
|
---|
| 49 |
|
---|
| 50 | ### delete nested values
|
---|
| 51 |
|
---|
| 52 | ```js
|
---|
| 53 | var one = {a: {b: {c: 'd'}}};
|
---|
| 54 | unset(one, 'a.b');
|
---|
| 55 | console.log(one);
|
---|
| 56 | //=> {a: {}}
|
---|
| 57 |
|
---|
| 58 | var two = {a: {b: {c: 'd'}}};
|
---|
| 59 | unset(two, 'a.b.c');
|
---|
| 60 | console.log(two);
|
---|
| 61 | //=> {a: {b: {}}}
|
---|
| 62 |
|
---|
| 63 | var three = {a: {b: {c: 'd', e: 'f'}}};
|
---|
| 64 | unset(three, 'a.b.c');
|
---|
| 65 | console.log(three);
|
---|
| 66 | //=> {a: {b: {e: 'f'}}}
|
---|
| 67 | ```
|
---|
| 68 |
|
---|
| 69 | ### throws on invalid args
|
---|
| 70 |
|
---|
| 71 | ```js
|
---|
| 72 | unset();
|
---|
| 73 | // 'expected an object.'
|
---|
| 74 | ```
