objUpdate JavaScript

Changes the value matching a specific key name in the given object. If the recursive option is true, it will also search in child object items. This changes the value of the same key found in both the parent and child items. If the upsert option is true, add it as a new attribute to the top-level item when the key is not found.

Parameters

• obj::object
• searchKey::string
• value::any
• recursive::boolean
• upsert::boolean

Returns

object|null

Examples

const result = objUpdate(
	{
		a: 1,
		b: {
			a: 1,
			b: 2,
			c: 3
		},
		c: 3
	},
	'c',
	5,
	true,
	false
);

console.log(result); // Returns { a: 1, b: { a: 1, b: 2, c: 5 }, c: 5 }
