Fuse.js to search in array with dot in keys

Question

Im using fetch on a Rest endpoint which gives me a array of objects. All the keys in the array has a dot in them. ex: {test.name: "test"}. I have to keep fetching new responses to get changes so while i can remove or replace the dot this will take some time/resources every time. Is there any way to use keys with dots in fuse.js?

I tried some variants of this with no luck.

const fuse = new Fuse(this.state.test, {
    keys: ['test.name']
});

ps. I cant change the keys in the Rest as its external

As of Fuse.js v6.3.0 you can search through nested values by providing the path via dot (.) or array notation. Therefore, if your key already has a dot in it, you can wrap it in an array:

const fuse = new Fuse(this.state.test, {
  // `test.name` is the actual key, so wrap it in an array
  keys: [['test.name']]
});
