defmodule Unpack do
@moduledoc """
Unpack lets you "unpack" values from a nested map safely.
"""
@doc """
Traverses any nested map or `struct`, in order of `keys` list, to return a
value. Returns nil for bad keys or empty maps.
## Examples
iex> struct = %{player: %{game: %{id: "game-id"}}}
iex> Unpack.get(struct, [:player, :game, :id])
"game-id"
iex> struct = %{player: %{}}
iex> Unpack.get(struct, [:player, :game, :id])
nil
