immutable-short-string-notation

Allows you to set paths directly in strings instead of passing arrays

How to use

The requirement must appear in the app before other immutable actions (a good idea would be to place in the root of the app if uncertain)

import { Map } from "immutable-short-string-notation";

Somewhere else in the application you may use the string syntax

state.setIn("a.b.c.d.e", 42);
state.getIn("a.b.c.d.e"); // 42

// All other ways still work
state.setIn("a.b.c.d.e".split("."), 42);
state.setIn(["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"], 42);
state.getIn("a.b.c.d.e"); // still 42

It supports the following Immutable.Map methods view tests

• getIn
• setIn
• mergeDeepIn
• updateIn

Why ?

Because writing state.getIn(['node1', 'node23', 'node67']) could be shorter and state.getIn('node1.node23.node67'.split('.')) feel wrong when it's been repeated a tousand times

so let's just remove the split as anyway we are sure we want to pass an array here
