flat 0.1.0

Take a nested Map and flatten it with delimited keys.

flat

Take a nested Map and flatten it with delimited keys. Entirely based on node.js flat.

It does not achieve feature parity yet, as some options are missing from flatten (maxDepth, transformKey) and unflatten is not yet implemented.

Currently, it bails out of a tree if it finds something different than a Map or List.

Usage

import 'package:flat/flat.dart';

flatten({
  'key1': {'keyA': 'valueI'},
  'key2': {'keyB': 'valueII'},
  'key3': {
    'a': {
      'b': {'c': 2}
    }
  }
});

// {
//   'key1.keyA': 'valueI',
//   'key2.keyB': 'valueII',
//   'key3.a.b.c': 2
// };

Options

delimiter

Use a custom delimiter for flattening your objects, instead of .

safe

When enabled, flat will preserve arrays and their contents. This is disabled by default.

import 'package:flat/flat.dart';

flatten({
  'this': [
    {'contains': 'arrays'},
    {
      'preserving': {'them': 'for you'}
    }
  ]
}, safe: true);

// {
//   'this': [
//     {'contains': 'arrays'},
//     {
//       'preserving': {'them': 'for you'}
//     }
//   ]
// };
