interesting snippet to get the minified key of an object. from react JS
/**
* Allows extraction of a minified key. Let's the build system minify keys
* without loosing the ability to dynamically use key strings as values
* themselves. Pass in an object with a single key/val pair and it will return
* you the string key of that single record. Suppose you want to grab the
* value for a key 'className' inside of an object. Key/val minification may
* have aliased that key to be 'xa12'. keyOf({className: null}) will return
* 'xa12' in that case. Resolve keys you want to use once at startup time, then
* reuse those resolutions.
