Feature request: Stop dot.dot paths at array about dot-object HOT 8 CLOSED

@biblicalph I went on and implemented this feature, the option name is keepArray

Usage:

var dot = require('dot-object');

var inData = {
    name: 'foo',
    arrayData: [1,2,3,{nestedObject: 'foo'}],
    nested: {
        nestedFoo: 'foo',
        nestedArrayData: [1,2,3,{nestedObject: 'foo'}]
    }
}

dot.keepArray = true

const res = dot.dot(inData);

console.log(JSON.stringify(res, null, 2));

I've created a PR (#52 ) to add this keepArray to doc

from dot-object.

I totally agree @jpeltoniemi. useArray option doesn't work with dot. I looked over the code and can confirm that. I'd be happy to submit a PR though @rhalff

from dot-object.

@rhalff is this a scenario you want to capture or not?

from dot-object.

useArray is not used by the .dot() method. It is used to interpret numeric values as object properties.

See: https://github.com/rhalff/dot-object/blob/c25606e8514723bc45da2f2f65fb11a70ec655bf/test/data/object_deep_numeric_keys2.json

Perhaps introduce a keepArrays option? Not sure what the option name should be.

from dot-object.

@rhalff sure. keepArrays sounds good. I'll make some time to submit a PR if that sounds okay

from dot-object.

@biblicalph ok, that would be great :-)

Thanks, I've merged it.
