Problem
I want to build a function that takes in a path to a nested object value and sets that value to 'new value'
const obj = {
foo: {
bar: 'baz'
}
}
// api should look like
changeObjKey(o => o.foo.bar)
//or
changeObjKey('foo.bar')
/*
* expected:
obj = {
foo: {
bar: 'new value'
}
}
*/
What I've tried:
Something like this (which obviously doesn't work)
function changeObjKey(cb){
cb(obj) = 'new value'
}
I don't want to use lodash or the likes, I'm looking for the most minimal solution to this problem. I also don't want to use eval and the api should support both foo.bar and foo[bar] (if its string based)
