Question

Let’s I have next object

   var o = { "foo" : {"bar" : "omg"} };  

I can get value of key foo using

o["foo"] // return {"bar" : "omg"} 

and I can get value of key bar inside foo using

o["foo"]["bar"]  // return "omg"   

Can I get value of key bar inside foo using brackets [] single time.
Somethong like

o["foo.bar"] // not working(

or

o["foo/bar"] // not working(

Answer 1

It is fairly common to create a getter function to do something like this. From the comment:

I have object o and string ‘foo.bar’, and i want get “omg”.

var getProp = function (theObject, propString) {
    var current = theObject;
    var split = propString.split('.');

    for (var i = 0; i < split.length; i++) {
        if (current.hasOwnProperty(split[i])) {
            current = current[split[i]];
        }
    }

    return current;
};
