Feature request or bug: keep the last element as array

[HapLifeMan]

Hello,

Amazing library and work here!

I wanted to know if it was possible to add an option (or do it by default) to keep the last element as array?

For instance:

// For instance:

{
  world: 'Earth',
  countries: [
    'France',
    'Spain',
    'Italia',
    // ...
  ],
  people: [
    { country: 'France', number: 67000000 },
    // ...
  ],
}

// would be flattened to:

{
  'world': 'Earth',
  'countries': ['France', 'Spain', 'Italia'],
  'people[0].country': 'France',
  'people[0].number': 67000000,
}

// instead of:

{
  'world': 'Earth',
  'countries[0]': 'France',
  'countries[1]': 'Spain',
  'countries[2]': 'Italia',
  'people[0].country': 'France',
  'people[0].number': 67000000,
}

What do you think? 😊

Thank you :).

I don’t think that would benefit this package, but I’m wondering if you can easily do that yourself?

Perhaps your own function that wraps the FlattenJS call, extracts the property from the object before you flatten, and then add it back (ie in unflattened form) to the resulting flattened object?!

Best, Rich
