> Delete nested properties from an object using dot notation.

## Install

Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):

```sh
$ npm install --save unset-value
```

## Usage

```js
var unset = require('unset-value');

var obj = {a: {b: {c: 'd', e: 'f'}}};
unset(obj, 'a.b.c');
console.log(obj);
//=> {a: {b: {e: 'f'}}};
```

## Examples

### Updates the object when a property is deleted

```js
var obj = {a: 'b'};
unset(obj, 'a');
console.log(obj);
//=> {}
```

### Returns true when a property is deleted

```js
unset({a: 'b'}, 'a') // true
```

### Returns `true` when a property does not exist

This is consistent with `delete` behavior in that it does not
throw when a property does not exist.

```js
unset({a: {b: {c: 'd'}}}, 'd') // true
```

### delete nested values

```js
var one = {a: {b: {c: 'd'}}};
unset(one, 'a.b');
console.log(one);
//=> {a: {}}

var two = {a: {b: {c: 'd'}}};
unset(two, 'a.b.c');
console.log(two);
//=> {a: {b: {}}}

var three = {a: {b: {c: 'd', e: 'f'}}};
unset(three, 'a.b.c');
console.log(three);
//=> {a: {b: {e: 'f'}}}
```

### throws on invalid args

```js
unset();
// 'expected an object.'
```
