Next, you can import the setWith function from Lodash and use it as follows:

index.ts
import { setWith } from 'lodash';

const obj = {};

setWith(obj, 'a[0].b.c', 'Hello, World!', Object);

console.log(obj); // { "a": [ { "b": { "c": "Hello, World!" } } ] }

The setWith function takes four arguments:

  • The object to modify
  • The path to set
  • The value to set
  • An optional customizer function (in this example, we used the built-in Object function as the customizer)

The last argument is optional, and can be used to customize the behavior of the function according to your needs. The setWith function will return the modified object once the operation completes.
