set-value
Advanced tools
Package description
The set-value npm package is a utility for setting deeply nested values within an object using dot-path notation or by providing a path array. It is useful for updating values in a mutable way without directly accessing properties, especially when dealing with complex or deeply nested objects.
Set nested values using dot-path
This feature allows you to set a value at a nested path within an object using a string dot-path notation.
const setValue = require('set-value');
const obj = {};
setValue(obj, 'a.b.c', 'value');
console.log(obj); //=> { a: { b: { c: 'value' } } }Set nested values using array-path
This feature allows you to set a value at a nested path within an object using an array to describe the path.
const setValue = require('set-value');
const obj = {};
setValue(obj, ['a', 'b', 'c'], 'value');
console.log(obj); //=> { a: { b: { c: 'value' } } }Set multiple values
This feature allows you to set multiple values at different paths within the same object.
const setValue = require('set-value');
const obj = {};
setValue(obj, 'a.b.c', 'value1');
setValue(obj, 'x.y.z', 'value2');
console.log(obj); //=> { a: { b: { c: 'value1' } }, x: { y: { z: 'value2' } } }lodash.set is a method from the Lodash library that performs a similar function to set-value. It allows setting values at a given path of an object tree. Lodash is a more extensive utility library, and lodash.set is just one of its many functions.
dot-prop is another npm package that allows you to get, set, or delete properties from a nested object using dot-path notation. It is similar to set-value but also provides methods for getting and deleting properties.
deepdash is an extension for Lodash that adds deep object manipulation capabilities. It provides methods for deep setting, getting, and many other operations on nested objects. It is more feature-rich compared to set-value, which focuses solely on setting values.
