Function getValueByIter

Get the named value from the target object where the path is represented by the string iterator or iterable to separate the nested objects of the heirarchy / path to the value. If the target does not contain the full path the iterator will not be completed.

The order of processing of the iterator is not reset if you add or remove elements to the iterator, the actual behavior will depend on the iterator imeplementation.

If the passed iter is both an Iterable and Iterator the Iterator interface takes preceedence.

let theValue = {
  Hello: {
     Darkness: {
         my: "old"
     }
  },
  friend: "I've",
  come: {
     to: {
         see: "you"
     }
  }
};

let value = getValueByKey(theValue, ["Hello", "Darkness", "my"], "friend");
// value === "my"

let value = getValueByKey(theValue, ["My", "Old"], "friend");
// value === "friend"

let value = getValueByKey(theValue, ["come", "to"], "friend");
// value === { see: "you" }

let value = getValueByKey(theValue, ["friend"], "friend");
// value === "I've"
