methods

• resolve_mapping_to_dict(mapping, source) - move values from source into a returned dict, using mapping for paths and returned keys.

  from transmogrifydict import resolve_mapping_to_dict
  
  mapping = {
      'a': 'd',
      'b': 'e',
      'c': 'f'
  }
  
  source = {
      'd': 1,
      'e': 2,
      'f': 3
  }
  
  resolve_mapping_to_dict(mapping, source)
  # {
  #     'a': 1,
  #     'b': 2,
  #     'c': 3,
  # }
  

• resolve_path_to_value(source, path) - fetch a value out of source using path as the pointer to the desired value. see docstring for path string formats.

  from transmogrifydict import resolve_path_to_value
  
  source = {
      'd': 1,
      'e': 2,
      'f': 3
  }
  
  found, value = resolve_path_to_value(source, 'e')
  
  print((found, value))
  # (True, 2)
