Does bracket notation work?

[tnrich]

var obj = {
        'bracket:string': 'This string must be accessed with brackets'
    }

obj['bracket:string']
//'This string must be accessed with brackets'

access(obj, "['bracket:string']")
//undefined

It doesn't look like it unless I'm doing something incorrectly here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Bracket notation doesn't work, but internally, safe-access uses bracket notation and the strings that you pass in to safely access properties, so you can do this:

var obj = {
  'bracket:string': 'This string must be accessed with brackets'
};

access(obj, 'bracket:string');

For deeply nested objects, you can simply use dot notation:

var obj = {
  'bracket:string': {
    'str@nge-symbols': 'This string must also be accessed with brackets'
  }
};

access(obj, 'bracket:string.str@nge-symbols');

This workaround will not work when a property name will have a '.' in the name. So, it will be useful to have bracket notation.

Thanks!

Agree with @galusben. From server we receive objects like: { attributes: { 'product.displayName': 'A product' } }
