QUESTION
Reposting as a corrected version of this question. I have reviewed this, but it didn't help me deal with unknown array nestings.
EDIT: Added information on why Lodash _.get
won't work. Here's a Stackblitz. There's an npm library, Object-Scan that would work -- but, I can't get Angular to play nice with that package.
This is for a column renderer component in an Angular app. The user selects a column to display, and the column is mapped to whatever it is. So, in the below example, if user selects to display "Categories", and it is mapped to "interests[categories]", the function then needs to go find values that correspond to that mapping in the data.

Answered 2021-Jan-14 at 04:55Why reinvent the wheel? What you describe is exactly what the Lodash get
function does. See https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.15#get
If you really want to have a "vanilla" solution, peek how they do it. See https://github.com/lodash/lodash/blob/master/get.js
QUESTION
Background
I'm the maintainer of a low level library for fast object traversal in Node.js. The focus of the library is speed and it is heavily optimised. However there is one big slowdown: Callback Parameters
The Problem
Callbacks are provided by the library consumer and can be invoked many, many times per scan. For every invocation all parameters are computed and passed to the callback. In most cases only a fraction of the parameters are actually used by the callback.
The Goal
The goal is to eliminate the unnecessary computation of these parameters.
Solutions Ideas
- Ideally NodeJs would expose the callback parameters as defined by the callback. However obtaining them doesn't seem to be possible without a lot of black magic (string parsing). It would also not solve the situation where parameters are only required conditionally.
- Instead of trying to obtain the parameters from the callback, we could require the callback to expose the required parameters. It sounds very inconvenient and error prone and would also not solve conditionally requires.
- We could introduce a different callback for every parameter combination. This sounds like a bad idea.
- Instead of passing in the parameters directly, we could pass in a function for each parameter that computes and returns the parameter value. Inside the callback the parameter would then be invoked as required. It's ugly but might be the best approach?
Questions
- How do other libraries solve this?
- What are other ways this can be solved?
This is a very fundamental design decision and I'm trying to get this right.
Thank you very much for your time! As always appreciated!
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Apr-04 at 17:11You could pass to the callback an object that has various methods on it that the client using the callback could call to fetch whatever parameters they actually need. That way, you'd have a clean object interface and you'd only compute the necessary information that was actually requested.
This general design pattern is sometimes called "lazy computation" where you only do the computation as required. You can use either accessor functions or getters, depending upon the type of interface you want to expose.
For performance reasons, you can perhaps reuse the same object for each time you call the callback rather than building a new one (depends upon details of your implementation).
Note that you don't even have to put all the information needed for the computation into the object itself as the methods on the object can, in some cases, refer to your own local context and locally scoped variables when doing their computation.
