I am trying to build an object path based upon a list that I am being passed. I have set up an example of what I mean here :
https://jsfiddle.net/alexjm/kypwht31/6/
var state = { irc : { main : "test"}};
var key = ["irc", "main"];
createStateFromKey = function (key) {
var stateForBuild = "state";
_.each(key, function(n, key) {
stateForBuild += "." + n;
});
return stateForBuild;
};
console.log(createStateFromKey(key));
this sends me back the string of 'state.irc.main' which is what I want, but I want it to be an evaluation of the actual object - "test". I am being passed this list that can have any number of items, and need to search inside that state using the key list i am being provided with. I am using it in a function like so :
function mapStateToProps(key, state) {
return {
test: state.???.loadingJSON
};
}
so it needs to evaluate on that state, something like this:
return {
test: state[key[0]].[key[1]].loadingJSON
};
I am trying to run it into a for each because the length of that list is dynamic. I am not entirely sure I am approaching this correctly because that function is returning a string that i am not sure is working. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
