I can re-use how filter reconstructs objects to parse paths into search indexes, something like this

const paths = d.paths({hello: ["friend", "grandma"]});
// parse paths into search index
const search = {};
paths.forEach(function (path, acc) {
  var loc = search;
  path.forEach(function (prop, acc) {
      if (!prop in loc) loc[prop] = acc < path.length ? {} : null;
      loc = loc[prop];
    });
});

— const paths = paths(...) ? :^)

— Returns an array of arrays of paths

— Oh whoops

— Check out done module of the strategy https://github.com/Floofies/Differentia.js/blob/master/src/strategies.js#L548

— filter creates paths on the fly while traversing, then afterwards it parses those paths to recreate an object, very similarly to creating a search index

— Which means if I did code that, filter would then include it as a dependency

— Since strategies often call each other so they are reusable

— Hey, wanna see how this data structure looks like?

— Sure
