javascript-lodashHow do I use lodash to set values in JavaScript?


Lodash is a JavaScript library that provides utility functions for common programming tasks. It can be used to set values in JavaScript in a few different ways.

  1. Using the _.set() function:
let obj = {
  name: 'John'
};

_.set(obj, 'age', 24);

console.log(obj);
// { name: 'John', age: 24 }

The _.set() function takes two arguments: an object and a path, and sets the value of the path to the given value. In the example above, we set the age property of the obj object to 24.

  1. Using the _.assign() function:
let obj = {
  name: 'John'
};

_.assign(obj, { age: 24 });

console.log(obj);
// { name: 'John', age: 24 }

The _.assign() function takes two arguments: an object and a source object, and assigns the properties of the source object to the given object. In the example above, we assign the age property of the obj object to 24.

  1. Using the spread operator:
let obj = {
  name: 'John'
};

obj = { ...obj, age: 24 };

console.log(obj);
// { name: 'John', age: 24 }

The spread operator can be used to spread the properties of an object into another object. In the example above, we spread the properties of the obj object into a new object, and set the age property to 24.
