Google Tag Manager 'Nested Properties Object Getter' Variable Template

---

Summary

This repository contains a Google Tag Manager Variable template that makes it possible to obtain nested properties from an object using dot or bracket notation (for example, foo[0].bar). It works similar to lodash _.get function.

Usage

• Open a Google Tag Manager web container and click into the Templates from the left sidebar menu.
• In the Variables Templates section, click on Search Gallery button.
• Click on the Search Icon then type "nested properties".
• Select the Nested Properties Object Getter template to your workspace.
• Use the new template as needed.

Options

Source Object

Input should be either an object or an array. You can enter a variable name such as {{ My Object }}. If the resolved value is undefined, the Default Value is returned in its place.

Property Path

You can enter the path to retrieve using dots (foo.0.bar) or using brackets (foo[0].bar).

Default Value

Can be either undefined, empty string or a custom value. If custom value is selected, you will be able to enter a custom string.

    }
  ]
}

Property Path: foo.0.bar
