Dynamically get Object property from user input
Anyone know how I can do this?
I have an Actor (
myactor) and I'd like to have an input box which the user can use to refer to any of its properties, by typing in a path (i.e. @data.abilities.str.proficiency).
How can I get that property within my script after they type in the box?
I'm thinking that I could use Autocomplete Inline Properties, but don't know if that does this.9 Replies

myActor + "['data']" doesn't return myactor['data']. Instead, it returns "myactor['data']"helpers - Foundry Virtual Tabletop Developer API

Where is your input being created? a Dialog?
A form application
I think that's the solution, thanks!

_updateObject's parameters. One of those is all of the data of all of the nameed inputs in the <form> element of the formAppliationI'm going to take a look at how that works in case I ever want to do this outside of Foundry
Here's similar from lodash: https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.15#get
Must easier to read than lodash source:
