Lodash

update

Object
since 4.6.0

Returns

Object `object`.

This method is like _.set except that accepts updater to produce the value to set. Use _.updateWith to customize path creation. The updater is invoked with one argument: (value).

Note: This method mutates object.

Example of Lodash _.update

var object = { 'a': [{ 'b': { 'c': 3 } }] };

_.update(object, 'a[0].b.c', function(n) { return n * n; });
console.log(object.a[0].b.c);
// => 9

_.update(object, 'x[0].y.z', function(n) { return n ? n + 1 : 0; });
console.log(object.x[0].y.z);
// => 0
