Found this excellent code for _.get
vanilla js implementation:
const get = (obj, path, defaultValue) => path.split(".")
.reduce((a, c) => (a && a[c] ? a[c] : (defaultValue || null)), obj)
Now I'm looking for _.set
implementation, any help would be appreciated.
I think this could cover it:
const set = (obj, path, value) => {
if (Object(obj) !== obj) return obj; // When obj is not an object
// If not yet an array, get the keys from the string-path
if (!Array.isArray(path)) path = path.toString().match(/[^.[\]]+/g) || [];
path.slice(0,-1).reduce((a, c, i) => // Iterate all of them except the last one
Object(a[c]) === a[c] // Does the key exist and is its value an object?
// Yes: then follow that path
? a[c]
// No: create the key. Is the next key a potential array-index?
: a[c] = Math.abs(path[i+1])>>0 === +path[i+1]
? [] // Yes: assign a new array object
: {}, // No: assign a new plain object
obj)[path[path.length-1]] = value; // Finally assign the value to the last key
return obj; // Return the top-level object to allow chaining
};
// Demo
var obj = { test: true };
set(obj, "test.1.it", "hello");
console.log(obj); // includes an intentional undefined value
It is a bit more complex than get
, because there is some logic needed to create missing parts of the path in the object, to overwrite primitive values that stand in the way, and to determine whether a new child should better be an array or a plain object.
Check this one:
/**
* @example
* const obj = {id:1, address: {city: 'Minsk', street: 'Prityckogo 12'}}
* setByString(obj, 'address.city', 'Grodno'); obj.address.city => 'Grodno'
* setByString(obj, ['address', 'city'], 'Grodno'); obj.address.city => 'Grodno'
* setByString(obj, ['address', 'city', 'phones'], {mobile: 1234, home: 222}); obj.address.city.phones.home => 222
*/
/**
* @param {any} input
* @return {boolean}
*/
const isObject = (input) => (
null !== input &&
typeof input === 'object' &&
Object.getPrototypeOf(input).isPrototypeOf(Object)
)
**/
* @param {object} obj
* @param {string} path
* @param {any} value
*/
const setByString = (obj, path, value) => {
const pList = Array.isArray(path) ? path : path.split('.');
const len = pList.length;
// changes second last key to {}
for (let i = 0; i < len - 1; i++) {
const elem = pList[i];
if (!obj[elem] || !isObject(obj[elem])) {
obj[elem] = {};
}
obj = obj[elem];
}
// set value to second last key
obj[pList[len - 1]] = value;
};
