how to use the topath function from the underscore library in javascript

The _.toPath() function of the Underscore library in JavaScript is used to convert a string into a path array. It splits the string based on the delimiter . and creates an array of path elements.

Here is an example:

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

const pathString = 'obj.property.subproperty';

const pathArray = _.toPath(pathString);

console.log(pathArray); // ['obj', 'property', 'subproperty']
185 chars
8 lines

In the above example, the pathString is converted to an array using the _.toPath() function of the Underscore library. The resulting pathArray has elements that represent each level or property in the path string.

This function is useful when working with nested objects or when manipulating paths in JavaScript.
