Gets the target value in a nested JSON object, based on the `keys` array.
- Compare the keys you want in the nested JSON object as an `Array`.
- Use `Array.prototype.reduce()` to get the values in the nested JSON object one by one.
- If the key exists in the object, return the target value, otherwise return `null`.
```js
const deepGet = (obj, keys) =>
keys.reduce(
(xs, x) => (xs && xs[x] !== null && xs[x] !== undefined ? xs[x] : null),
obj
);
```
```js
let index = 2;
const data = {
foo: {
foz: [1, 2, 3],
bar: {
baz: ['a', 'b', 'c']
}
}
};
deepGet(data, ['foo', 'foz', index]); // get 3
deepGet(data, ['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 8, 'foz']); // null
```
