Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method) Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method) This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

flattenObject
Flatten an object with the paths for keys.
Use recursion.
Use Object.keys(obj) combined with Array.prototype.reduce() to convert every leaf node to a flattened path node.
If the value of a key is an object, the function calls itself with the appropriate prefix to create the path using Object.assign().
Otherwise, it adds the appropriate prefixed key-value pair to the accumulator object.
You should always omit the second argument, prefix, unless you want every key to have a prefix.
const flattenObject = (obj, prefix = '') =>
Object.keys(obj).reduce((acc, k) => {
const pre = prefix.length ? prefix + '.' : '';
if (typeof obj[k] === 'object') Object.assign(acc, flattenObject(obj[k], pre + k));
else acc[pre + k] = obj[k];
return acc;
}, {});
flattenObject({ a: { b: { c: 1 } }, d: 1 }); // { 'a.b.c': 1, d: 1 }
