Once installed, you can import the update function into your project with:

index.tsx

The update function allows you to modify an object in a specified way without directly mutating the original object. It accepts three arguments:

1. The object you want to modify
2. The path to the property you want to modify, represented as an array
3. The value you want to replace the property with

Here's an example of how to use the update function:

index.tsx
const originalObject = {
  user: {
    name: 'Alice',
    age: 25
  }
};

const modifiedObject = update(originalObject, ['user', 'age'], (age) => age + 1);

console.log(modifiedObject); // { user: { name: 'Alice', age: 26 } }

In this example, we're modifying the age property of the user object by adding 1 to its value. The update function returns a new object with the specified modification, leaving the original originalObject intact.
