Brototype is a small JavaScript utility library for safely accessing, testing, and setting deeply nested object properties without verbose existence checks. It wraps objects in a 'Bro' helper offering methods like doYouEven, iCanHaz, and makeItHappen.

Use cases

• safely check if a deeply nested object property exists
• get a nested value without throwing undefined errors
• set deeply nested properties on an object in one call
• call a nested function only if it exists
• access nested properties with array indices and namespaced keys
• replace verbose if-chains guarding nested object access

When to choose

• you work with deeply nested or unpredictable API response objects in JavaScript
• you want a lightweight, dependency-free alternative to manual existence checks
• you enjoy a humorous API and don't mind meme-style method names

When to avoid

• you use modern JavaScript with optional chaining (?.) and nullish coalescing
• you prefer conventional, professional API naming in your codebase
• you need TypeScript type safety around nested property access
