# This attempts to extract an element from an Array or Hash according to | |
# the contents of the second parameter "path_array" which can contain | |
# either strings or integers representing array indexes. | |
# | |
# This is very useful for parsing a URI as a query string | |
# | |
# Examples: | |
# | |
# data = { stuff: { things: [ | |
# {foo: "baz", bird: "pink", car: "blue" }, | |
# {foo: "blah", bird: "purple", car: "orange"} | |
# ] } }, | |
# | |
# drill_into(data, ["stuff", "things", "0", "car"]) | |
# => "blue" | |
# | |
# drill_into(data, ["stuff", "things", "orange", "bird"]) | |
# => "purple" | |
# | |
# drill_into(data, ["stuff", "things"] | |
# => [ {foo: "baz", bird: "pink", car: "blue" }, {foo: "blah", bird: "purple", car: "orange"} ] | |
