NPM version Build Status Code Climate Dependency Status peerDependency Status

Easily update nested frozen objects and arrays in a declarative and immutable manner.

About

NOTE: Before updeep is 1.0, method or semantics may change without a major version bump, but only if really necessary.

Updating deeply nested objects/arrays is a bit of a pain. updeep makes it 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.

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

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

API and Examples

Full example

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

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

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

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

Multiple updates, including an array

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

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

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

Use a function

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

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

expect(result).toEqual({ scores: { team1: 0, team2: 1 } });

Partial application

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

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

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

ES6 computed properties

var key = 'age';

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

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

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

Update a single value with a simple string or array path.

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

expect(result).toEqual({ bunny: { color: 'brown' } });
function increment(i) { return i + 1; }

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

expect(result).toEqual({ bunny: { age: 3 } });
var result = u({ pet: u.updateIn(['bunny', 'age'], 3) }, { pet: { bunny: { age: 2 } } });

expect(result).toEqual({ pet: { bunny: { age: 3 } } });

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.

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).toEqual({ 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.

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).toEqual({ 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)).

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

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

expect(result).toEqual({ values: [1, 2] });
function increment(x) { return x + 1; }

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

expect(result).toEqual([1, 2, 3]);
var result = u.map(increment, { a: 0, b: 1, c: 2 });

expect(result).toEqual({ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 });
function increment(x) { return x + 1; }

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

expect(result).toEqual([{ a: 100 }, { a: 100 }]);

u.omit(predicate(, object))

Remove properties. See _.omit.

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

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

expect(result).toEqual({ user: { email: 'john@aol.com', username: 'john123' } });
var user = {
  user: {
    email: 'john@aol.com',
    username: 'john123',
    authToken: '1211..',
    SSN: 5551234
  }
};

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

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

u.reject(predicate(, object))

Reject items from an array. See _.reject.

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

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

expect(result).toEqual({ values: [1, 3] });

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

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

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

expect(result).toEqual({ 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 ===.

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

expect(result).toEqual(true);
function isEven(i) { return i % 2 === 0; }

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

expect(result).toEqual(true);
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')
  )
});

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

Install

$ npm install --save updeep

Requires lodash as a peer dependency, so make sure you have it installed as well.

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 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 should be more efficient in that case.
