### unflattenObject
Unlatten an object with the paths for keys.
Use `Object.keys(obj)` combined with `Array.reduce()` to convert flattened path node to a leaf node.
If the value of a key contains a dot delimiter (`.`), use `Array.split('.')`, string transformations and `JSON.parse()` to create an object, then `Object.assign()` to create the leaf node.
Otherwise, add the appropriate key-value pair to the accumulator object.
```js
const unflattenObject = obj =>
Object.keys(obj).reduce((acc, k) => {
if (k.indexOf('.') !== -1) {
const keys = k.split('.');
Object.assign(
acc,
JSON.parse(
'{' +
keys
.map((v, i) => (i !== keys.length - 1 ? `"${v}":{` : `"${v}":`))
.join('') +
obj[k] +
'}'.repeat(keys.length)
)
);
} else acc[k] = obj[k];
return acc;
}, {});
```
```js
unflattenObject({ 'a.b.c': 1, d: 1 }); // { a: { b: { c: 1 } }, d: 1 }
```
