Validate deeply nested properties

[colinskow]

Enable validation of deeply nested properties

Use a string with dot notation or bracket notation to perform validations on complex objects.

   var attributes = {
      name: "Nicklas Ansman",
      email: "[email protected]",
      deeply: {
        nested: {
          variable: "hello"
        }
      }
    };
    var constraints = {
      name: {
        pass: true
      },
      email: {
        pass: true,
        fail: true,
        fail2: true
      },
      "deeply.nested.variable": {
        fail2: true
      }
    };

    expect(validate(attributes, constraints)).toEqual({
      email: [
        "Email must be a valid email address",
        "Email is simply not good enough"
      ],
      "deeply.nested.variable": [
        "Deeply.nested.variable is simply not good enough"
      ]
    });

Coverage remained the same when pulling 7f6e9ee on colinskow:nested into 07b3ecc on wrapp:master.

Nice, tests for utility functions too! :)

Nice work! Thanks a bunch for this.

I'll attribute you in the docs and perhaps release this after I implement support for escaping . and adding some more tests.

Awesome! Now how do I force NPM to serve me the latest commit?

Ahh, in package.json... "validate.js": "https://github.com/wrapp/validate.js/tarball/062d5c2933"
