how to use the topath function from lodash in javascript

The topath function from lodash can be used to convert a string into a path array. A path array is an array of all the keys in an object's nested properties that can be used to access a corresponding value. Here's an example of how to use it:

index.tsx
const _ = require('lodash');

const nestedObj = {
  a: {
    b: {
      c: 123
    }
  }
};

const pathStr = 'a.b.c';
const pathArr = _.toPath(pathStr);

const nestedValue = _.get(nestedObj, pathArr);

console.log(nestedValue); // Output: 123
243 chars
17 lines

In the code above, we first require lodash to have access to the toPath function. We then create an object with a nested value. We define a string representing a path to the nested value, and then use the toPath function to convert the string into an array of keys. Finally, we use lodash's get function to retrieve the nested value using the path array.

This code would output 123 to the console because we successfully retrieved the nested value using the get function with the pathArr array we created using toPath.
