However, **if you also want to emit an event** each time a property is added to the `data` object, or you want more control over what happens as the object is extended, a better approach would be to use `visit`. + +**Example using `visit`** + +In this approach: + +* when an array is passed to `set`, the `mapVisit` library calls the `set` method on each object in the array. +* when an object is passed, `visit` calls `set` on each property in the object. + +As a result, the `data` event will be emitted every time a property is added to `data` (events are just an example, you can use this approach to perform any necessary logic every time the method is called). + +```js +var mapVisit = require('map-visit'); +var visit = require('object-visit'); + +var obj = { + data: {}, + set: function (key, value) { + if (Array.isArray(key)) { + mapVisit(obj, 'set', key); + } else if (typeof key === 'object') { + visit(obj, 'set', key); + } else { + // simulate an event-emitter + console.log('emit', key, value); + obj.data[key] = value; + } + } +}; + +obj.set('a', 'a'); +obj.set([{b: 'b'}, {c: 'c'}]); +obj.set({d: {e: 'f'}}); +obj.set({g: 'h', i: 'j', k: 'l'}); + +console.log(obj.data); +//=> {a: 'a', b: 'b', c: 'c', d: { e: 'f' }, g: 'h', i: 'j', k: 'l'} + +// events would look something like: +// emit a a +// emit b b +// emit c c +// emit d { e: 'f' } +// emit g h +// emit i j +// emit k l +``` + +## About + +### Related projects + +* [collection-visit](https://www.npmjs.com/package/collection-visit): Visit a method over the items in an object, or map visit over the objects… [more](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/collection-visit) | [homepage](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/collection-visit "Visit a method over the items in an object, or map visit over the objects in an array.") +* [object-visit](https://www.npmjs.com/package/object-visit): Call a specified method on each value in the given object. | [homepage](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/object-visit "Call a specified method on each value in the given object.") + +### Contributing + +Pull requests and stars are always welcome.
