set does not update a single, non nested field

[gabrielstuff]

The set function in the radash library is expected to update object properties, both for nested and simple keys. However, in our tests, it correctly modifies nested keys but fails to update simple keys.

Specifically, attempting to update a simple key like url does not produce the expected result, whereas updating nested keys (e.g., details.thumbnail.url) works as expected

here is a simple repro:

import { set, get } from 'radash'

async function main() {
  const media = {
    url: 'https://original-url.com',
    details: {
      thumbnail: {
        url: 'https://thumbnail.com'
      }
    }
  }

  console.log('Original media object:', media)
  const verifiedUrl = 'https://new-url.com'
  const thumbnailVerifiedUrl = 'https://new-thumbnail-url.com'

  set(media, 'url', verifiedUrl)
  set(media, 'details.thumbnail.url', thumbnailVerifiedUrl)

  console.log('Modified media object:', media)

  console.log('Updated url:', get(media, 'url'))
  console.log('Updated thumbnail url:', get(media, 'details.thumbnail.url'))
}

main()

Thanks for this amazing work

The set function does not mutate the target object. It returns a copy.

P.S. Come check out the radashi fork, which is actively maintained and an improved version of Radash.
