# for-each-property-deep
[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/DiegoZoracKy/for-each-property-deep.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/DiegoZoracKy/for-each-property-deep)
Executes a callback for each property found on a object, recursively on nested properties, with options regarding **enumerability** (enumerable or non-enumerable) and **ownership** (inherited or only own properties). It excludes built-in properties from Object and Function prototypes by default, and this behaviour can also be configured via options.
## Goal
The goal is to provide a way to iterate through object's properties with a clean interface regarding **enumerability** and **ownership**, e.g. `{ enumerability: 'enumerable', inherited: true }`. Also, discarding (or not, is an option) the built-in properties that may be found when looking up on the prototype-chain.
This module is the recursive version, which will traverse object's nested properties, of [for-each-property](https://github.com/DiegoZoracKy/for-each-property).
## Usage
```javascript
const forEachPropertyDeep = require('for-each-property-deep');
const object = { a: { b: { c: 'cValue'} } };
const callback = (value, key, path, parent, state) => console.log(key, path);
const options = {enumerability: 'enumerable', inherited: false};
const resultState = forEachPropertyDeep(object, callback, options);
// All outputs (console.log) from callback will be:
// a [ 'a' ]
// b [ 'a', 'b' ]
// c [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ]
```
**object**:
Literal object, Object Instance, Class Reference... Any object whose properties can be iterated on.
**callback**:
Function that will receive `(value, key, path, parent, state)`.
* **value**
Current property value
* **key**
Current property name
* **path**
An array representing the current property path. e.g. from the above example it will be `[ 'a', 'b', 'c' ]` for the `'c'` property
* **parent**
The parent object of the current property. e.g. from the above example it will be the object `{ c: 'cValue' }` for the `'c'` property
* **state**
Is an object that will be stateful throughall iterations, and it will be the value returned by calling `forEachPropertyDeep`. It can be useful to handle any data from within the callback function, instead of relying on external variables. e.g., to store and get all the *paths* found.
**options**:
* **enumerability**:
The options are: `'enumerable'` *(default)*, `'nonenumerable'` or `'all'`
* **inherited**:
The options are: `true` *(default)* or `false`
* **excludeBuiltInPropsOf**:
An array of objects whose prototype properties must be excluded. It defaults to `[Function, Object]`
* **excludeProps**:
An array properties that must be excluded. The default is `['prototype']`
