API

vals(obj, paths…):Array

Extracts the property values at each given property path as an array.

vals.one(obj, path):*

Attempts to extract the property value at the given property path.

If path is an array, it will attempt to resolve the property path recursively.

If the path can not be resolved fully, the return value will be undefined.
