i'm trying path of property based on value put function. i've searched high , low, , reverse acheivable (_.pluck). work this:
given
var myobj = { some: { thing: 'hello' }, other: { thing: 'world' } } getpath(myobj, 'hello'); return 'some.thing' or ['some', 'thing'] (array preferably).
would awesome if flexible different sized objects too. +points lodash solution.
this works 2 levels deep, quick solution:
function getpath (obj, name) { var location = null; (var lvl_1 in obj) { if (obj[lvl_1] === name) { location = lvl_1; return location; } else if (typeof obj[lvl_1] === 'object') { (var lvl_2 in obj[lvl_1]) { if (obj[lvl_1][lvl_2] === name) { location = lvl_1 + '.' + lv;_2; return location; } } } } return location; } i ran variables
>
getpath(myobj, 'hello')
"some.thing"
if want array, split it:
>
getpath(myobj, 'hello').split('.')
["some", "thing"]
