To use the set function from Lodash in JavaScript, follow these steps:

  2. Import the set function from lodash in your JavaScript file:

const { set } = require('lodash');

  1. Declare an object that you want to modify:
index.tsx
let exampleObject = {
  name: 'John',
  age: 30,
  address: {
    line1: '123 Main St',
    line2: '',
    city: 'Anytown',
    state: 'CA',
    zip: '12345'
  }
};

  1. Use the set function to modify a value in the object. The set function takes three arguments: an object, a path to the value you want to modify (in string or array format), and the new value:
index.tsx
set(exampleObject, 'address.line2', 'Apt 4');

2 lines

This will set the line2 property of the address object to 'Apt 4'.

  1. You can now access the modified object:
index.tsx
console.log(exampleObject);

2 lines

This will output:

index.tsx
{
  name: 'John',
  age: 30,
  address: {
    line1: '123 Main St',
    line2: 'Apt 4',
    city: 'Anytown',
    state: 'CA',
    zip: '12345'
  }
}
