Answer 1

This is what worked for me. Note that, a raw map is created first and then mapped to an join the items in the Array with ..

var toIterate = {
  name: "somename",
  personal: {
    age: "19",
    color: "dark"
  }
};

console.log(getObjPath(toIterate).map(item => item.join('.')));

function isObject(x) {
  return Object.prototype.toString.call(x) === '[object Object]';
};

function getObjPath(obj, pathArray, busArray) {
  pathArray = pathArray ? pathArray : [];
  if (isObject(obj)) {
    for (key in obj) {
      if (obj.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
        if (isObject(obj[key])) {
          busArray = busArray ? bussArray : [];
          busArray.push(key);
          getObjPath(obj[key], pathArray, busArray);
        } else {
          if (busArray) {
            pathArray.push(busArray.concat([key]));
          } else {
            pathArray.push([key]);
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
  return pathArray;
}

Good Luck...
