import {type Get} from 'type-fest';
/**
Get the value of the property at the given path.
@param object - Object or array to get the `path` value.
@param path - Path of the property in the object, using `.` to separate each nested key. Use `\\.` if you have a `.` in the key. Array indices can be accessed using bracket notation (`'users[0].name'`) or dot notation (`'users.0.name'`). Both syntaxes are equivalent and will create arrays when setting values. Numeric strings in dot notation (like `'users.0.name'`) are automatically coerced to numbers. When using array paths, numeric strings are normalized to numbers for simplicity (treating `['users', '0']` the same as `['users', 0]`).
@param defaultValue - Default value.
@example
```
import {getProperty} from 'dot-prop';
getProperty({foo: {bar: 'unicorn'}}, 'foo.bar');
//=> 'unicorn'
getProperty({foo: {bar: 'a'}}, 'foo.notDefined.deep');
//=> undefined
getProperty({foo: {bar: 'a'}}, 'foo.notDefined.deep', 'default value');
//=> 'default value'
getProperty({foo: {'dot.dot': 'unicorn'}}, 'foo.dot\\.dot');
//=> 'unicorn'
getProperty({foo: [{bar: 'unicorn'}]}, 'foo[0].bar');
//=> 'unicorn'
getProperty({foo: [{bar: 'unicorn'}]}, 'foo.0.bar');
//=> 'unicorn'
