|
---|
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 | ```
