## About

updeep makes updating deeply nested objects/arrays painless by allowing you to
declare the updates you would like to make and it will take care of the rest. It
will recursively return the same instance if no changes have been made, making
it ideal for using reference equality checks to detect changes (like
[PureRenderMixin]).

Because of this, everything returned by updeep is frozen. Not only that, but
updeep assumes that every object passed in to update is immutable, so it may
freeze objects passed in as well. Note that the freezing only happens in
development.

updeep requires [lodash], but works very well with [lodash-fp] or [Ramda].
As a matter of fact, many of the helpers functions are [curried][currying]
[lodash] functions with their parameters reversed (like [lodash-fp]).

Note that the parameters may be backwards from what you may be used to. updeep
supports [partial application][currying], so the parameter order is:
`updeep(updates, object)`.

## API and Examples

### Full example

```js
var u = require('updeep');

var person = {
  name: { first: 'Bill', last: 'Sagat' },
  children: [
    { name: 'Mary-Kate', age: 7 },
    { name: 'Ashley', age: 7 }
  ],
  todo: [
    'Be funny',
    'Manage household'
  ],
  email: 'bill@example.com',
  version: 1
};

var inc = function(i) { return i + 1; }
var eq = function(x) { return function(y) { return x == y } };

var newPerson = u({
  // Change first name
  name: { first: 'Bob' },
  // Increment all children's ages
  children: u.map({ age: inc }),
  // Update email
  email: 'bob@example.com',
  // Remove todo
  todo: u.reject(eq('Be funny')),
  // Increment version
  version: inc
}, person);
// => {
//  name: { first: 'Bob', last: 'Sagat' },
//  children: [
//    { name: 'Mary-Kate', age: 8 },
//    { name: 'Ashley', age: 8 }
//  ],
//  todo: [
//    'Manage household'
//  ],
//  email: 'bob@example.com',
//  version: 2
//}
```

**NOTE**: All functions are curried, so if you see `f(x(, y))`, it can be called with either `f(x, y)` or `f(x)(y)`.

### `u(updates(, object))`

Update as many values as you want, as deeply as you want. The `updates` parameter can either be an object, a function, or a value. Everything returned from `u` is frozen recursively.

If `updates` is an object, for each key/value, it will apply the updates specified in the value to `object[key]`.

If `updates` is a function, it will call the function with `object` and return the value.

If `updates` is a value, it will return that value.

Sometimes, you may want to set an entire object to a property, or a function. In that case, you'll need to use a function to return that value, otherwise it would be interpreted as an update. Ex. `function() { return { a: 0 }; }`.

Also available at `u.update(...)`.

#### Simple update
Object properties:

```js
var person = {
  name: {
    first: 'Jane',
    last: 'West'
  }
};

var result = u({ name: { first: 'Susan' } }, person);

expect(result).to.eql({ name: { first: 'Susan', last: 'West' } });
```

Array elements:

```js
var scoreboard = {
  scores: [12, 28]
};

var result = u({ scores: { 1: 36 } }, scoreboard);

expect(result).to.eql({ scores: [12, 36] });
```

#### Multiple updates

```js
var person = {
  name: {
    first: 'Mike',
    last: 'Smith'
  },
  scores: [12, 28]
};

var result = u({ name: { last: 'Jones' }, scores: { 1: 36 } }, person);

expect(result).to.eql({ name: { first: 'Mike', last: 'Jones' }, scores: [12, 36] });
```

#### Use a function

```js
function increment(i) { return i + 1; }
var scoreboard = {
  scores: {
    team1: 0,
    team2: 0
  }
};

var result = u({ scores: { team2: increment } }, scoreboard);

expect(result).to.eql({ scores: { team1: 0, team2: 1 } });
```

#### Array Manipulation
Non-trivial array manipulations, such as element removal/insertion/sorting, can be implemented with functions. Because there are so many possible manipulations, we don't provide any helpers and leave this up to you. Simply ensure your function is pure and does not mutate its arguments.

```js
function addTodo(todos) { return [].concat(todos, [{ done: false }]); }
var state = {
  todos: [
    { done: false },
    { done: false }
  ]
};
var result = u({ todos: addTodo }, state);

expect(result).to.eql({ todos: [{ done: false }, { done: false }, { done: false }]});
```

#### When null or undefined object, updeep uses a default object

```javascript
var result = u({ foo: 'bar' }, null);
expect(result).to.eql({ foo: 'bar' });

var result = u({ 0: 'foo', 1: 'bar' }, null);
expect(result).to.eql(['foo', 'bar']);
```

#### Partial application

```js
function increment(i) { return i + 1; }

var addOneYear = u({ age: increment });
var result = addOneYear({ name: 'Shannon Barnes', age: 62 });

expect(result).to.eql({ name: 'Shannon Barnes', age: 63 });
```

#### ES6 computed properties

```js
var key = 'age';

var result = u({ person: { [key]: 21 } }, { person: { name: 'Olivier P.', age: 20 } });

expect(result).to.eql({ person: { name: 'Olivier P.', age: 21 } });
```

### `u.freeze`

Freeze your initial state to protect against mutations. Only performs the freezing in development, and returns the original object unchanged in production.

```js
var state = u.freeze({ someKey: "Some Value" })
state.someKey = "Mutate" // ERROR in development
```

### `u._`

All updeep functions are curried.
If you want to partially apply a function in an order other than the default argument order, you can use the placeholder.

```js
function increment(i) { return i + 1; }
var updateJoe = u(u._, { name: "Joe Merrill", age: 21 });
var result = updateJoe({ age: increment });

expect(result).to.eql({ name: "Joe Merrill", age: 22 });
```

### `u.updateIn(path(, value)(, object))`

Update a single value with a simple string or array path. Can be use to update nested objects, arrays, or a combination. Can also be used to update every element of a nested array with `'*'`.

```js
var result = u.updateIn('bunny.color', 'brown', { bunny: { color: 'black' } });

expect(result).to.eql({ bunny: { color: 'brown' } });
```

```js
var result = u.updateIn('0.1.color', 'brown', [[{ color: 'blue' }, { color: 'red' }], []]);

expect(result).to.eql( [[{ color: 'blue' }, { color: 'brown' }], []]);
```

```js
function increment(i) { return i + 1; }

var result = u.updateIn('bunny.age', increment, { bunny: { age: 2 } });

expect(result).to.eql({ bunny: { age: 3 } });
```

```js
var result = u({ pets: u.updateIn([0, 'bunny', 'age'], 3) }, { pets: [{ bunny: { age: 2 } }] });

expect(result).to.eql({ pets: [{ bunny: { age: 3 } }] });
```

```js
var result = u.updateIn('todos.*.done', true, {
  todos: [
    { done: false },
    { done: false },
  ]
});

expect(result).to.eql({
  todos: [
    { done: true },
    { done: true },
  ]
});
```

### `u.constant(object)`

Sometimes, you want to replace an object outright rather than merging it.
You'll need to use a function that returns the new object.
`u.constant` creates that function for you.

```js
var user = {
  name: 'Mitch',
  favorites: {
    band: 'Nirvana',
    movie: 'The Matrix'
  }
};

var newFavorites = {
  band: 'Coldplay'
};

var result = u({ favorites: u.constant(newFavorites) }, user);

expect(result).to.eql({ name: 'Mitch', favorites: { band: 'Coldplay' } });
```

```js
var alwaysFour = u.constant(4);
expect(alwaysFour(32)).to.eql(4);
```

### `u.if(predicate(, updates)(, object))`

Apply `updates` if `predicate` is truthy, or if `predicate` is a function.
It evaluates to truthy when called with `object`.

```js
function isEven(x) { return x % 2 === 0; }
function increment(x) { return x + 1; }

var result = u({ value: u.if(isEven, increment) }, { value: 2 });

expect(result).to.eql({ value: 3 });
```

### `u.ifElse(predicate(, trueUpdates)(, falseUpdates)(, object))`

Apply `trueUpdates` if `predicate` is truthy, or if `predicate` is a function.
It evaluates to truthy when called with `object`. Otherwise, apply `falseUpdates`.

```js
function isEven(x) { return x % 2 === 0; }
function increment(x) { return x + 1; }
function decrement(x) { return x - 1; }

var result = u({ value: u.ifElse(isEven, increment, decrement) }, { value: 3 });

expect(result).to.eql({ value: 2 });
```

### `u.map(iteratee(, object))`

If iteratee is a function, map it over the values in `object`.
If it is an object, apply it as updates to each value in `object`,
which is equivalent to  `u.map(u(...), object)`).

```js
function increment(x) { return x + 1; }

var result = u({ values: u.map(increment) }, { values: [0, 1] });

expect(result).to.eql({ values: [1, 2] });
```

```js
function increment(x) { return x + 1; }

var result = u.map(increment, [0, 1, 2]);

expect(result).to.eql([1, 2, 3]);
```

```js
function increment(x) { return x + 1; }

var result = u.map(increment, { a: 0, b: 1, c: 2 });

expect(result).to.eql({ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 });
```

```js
var result = u.map({ a: 100 }, [{ a: 0 }, { a: 1 }]);

expect(result).to.eql([{ a: 100 }, { a: 100 }]);
```

### `u.omit(predicate(, object))`

Remove properties. See [`_.omit`](https://lodash.com/docs#omit).

```js
var user = { user: { email: 'john@aol.com', username: 'john123', authToken: '1211..' } };

var result = u({ user: u.omit('authToken') }, user);

expect(result).to.eql({ user: { email: 'john@aol.com', username: 'john123' } });
```

```js
var user = {
  user: {
    email: 'john@aol.com',
    username: 'john123',
    authToken: '1211..',
    SSN: 5551234
  }
};

var result = u({ user: u.omit(['authToken', 'SSN']) }, user);

expect(result).to.eql({ user: { email: 'john@aol.com', username: 'john123' } });
```

### `u.omitted`

A property updated to this constant will be removed from the final object.
Useful when one wishes to remove and update properties in a single operation.

```js
var user = { email: 'john@aol.com', username: 'john123', authToken: '1211..' };

var result = u({ authToken: u.omitted, active: true }, user);

expect(result).to.eql({ user: { email: 'john@aol.com', username: 'john123', active: true } });
```

### `u.omitBy(predicate(, object))`

Remove properties. See [`_.omitBy`](https://lodash.com/docs#omitBy).

```js
var user = {
  user: {
    email: 'john@aol.com',
    username: 'john123',
    authToken: '1211..',
    SSN: 5551234
  }
};

function isSensitive(value, key) { return key == 'SSN' }
var result = u({ user: u.omitBy(isSensitive) }, user);

expect(result).to.eql({ user: { email: 'john@aol.com', username: 'john123', authToken: '1211..' } });

```

### `u.reject(predicate(, object))`

Reject items from an array. See [`_.reject`](https://lodash.com/docs#reject).

```js
function isEven(i) { return i % 2 === 0; }

var result = u({ values: u.reject(isEven) }, { values: [1, 2, 3, 4] });

expect(result).to.eql({ values: [1, 3] });
```

### `u.withDefault(default(, updates)(, object))`

Like `u()`, but start with the default value if the original value is undefined.

```js
var result = u({ value: u.withDefault([], { 0: 3 }) }, {});

expect(result).to.eql({ value: [3] });
```

See the [tests] for more examples.

### `u.is(path(, predicate)(, object))`

Returns `true` if the `predicate` matches the `path` applied to the `object`.
If the `predicate` is a function, the result is returned. If not, they are compared with `===`.

```js
var result = u.is('friend.age', 22, { friend: { age: 22 } });

expect(result).to.eql(true);
```

```js
function isEven(i) { return i % 2 === 0; }

var result = u.is('friend.age', isEven, { friend: { age: 22 } });

expect(result).to.eql(true);
```

```js
var person = {
  person: {
    name: {
      first: 'Jen',
      last: 'Matthews'
    }
  }
};

// Update person's last name to Simpson if their first name is Jen
var result = u({
  person: u.if(
    u.is('name.first', 'Jen'),
    u.updateIn('name.last', 'Simpson')
  )
}, person);

expect(result).to.eql({ person: { name: { first: 'Jen', last: 'Simpson' } } });
```

## Install

```sh
$ npm install --save updeep
```

## Configuration

If `NODE_ENV` is `"production"`, updeep will not attempt to freeze objects.
This may yield a slight performance gain.

## Motivation

While creating reducers for use with [redux], I wanted something that made it
easy to work with frozen objects. Native javascript objects have some nice
advantages over things like [Immutable.js][immutablejs] such as debugging and
destructuring. I wanted something more powerful than [icepick] and more
composable than [React.addons.update].

If you're manipulating massive amounts of data frequently, you may want to
benchmark, as [Immutable.js][immutablejs] should be more efficient in that
case.
