Searching an array of nested objects

[jcarraway]

Thanks for this great library! Do you have any suggestions for modifying the search function in a way that would work with an array of nested objects? I am currently able to accomplish this by flattening the objects, but I think this solution is less than optimal.

For example, if the user searches 'NY' or 'My Place' this object should be returned:
[{ id: "123xyz", name: "My Place", address: { id: "321yxz", street: "123 Main Street", city: "New York", state: "NY" } }]

I got it working as expected by adding another else if branch to the array filter method. Any suggestions for improving this would be appreciated, but not necessary!

else if (thisVal instanceof Object) { for (const keyX in thisVal) { if (thisVal.hasOwnProperty(keyX)) { if (!excludeProps || !excludeProps.includes(keyX)) { const thisNewVal = thisVal[keyX]; if ( typeof thisNewVal === 'string' && !thisNewVal.match(isoDateRegex) && thisNewVal.toLowerCase().includes(lQuery) ) { return true; } } } } }
