get blows up when trying to extract path from a null value - failed gracefully in 1.2.0

[CarolynWebster]

I recently upgraded to 1.3.1 so I could use this library with Typescript, but it seems like what used to fail gracefully is now blowing up.

If I have an object like:

{
    id: 1234,
    employee: null,
    created_on: 2021-05-11
}

With 1.2.0 - if I tried to get the field "/employee/st_price" - it would fail gracefully and return undefined
With 1.3.1 - it blows up saying it can't find "st_price" in null

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'st_price' of null
    at JsonPointer.eval (eval at compilePointerDereference (util.js?06b3:1), <anonymous>:5:17)
    at JsonPointer.get (pointer.js?05e6:131)
    at Function.get (pointer.js?05e6:81)
    ....

Please confirm with today's release v2.1.0. I'll create a proof under examples/issues after a while if I don't hear back.

I will test it out this week - thanks for the quick reply.

Fixed in v2.1.1

The issue is resolved in 2.1.1. I am going to go with 2.2.0 since it fixes the extra console log that was in the util file. Thanks for taking care of this quickly! Excited to upgrade and get the typescript support. Appreciate you and your work on this library! 🙂
