Is there a way to update a single field in an object within an array of objects?
PeopleList= [
{id:1, name:"Mary", active:false},
{id:2, name:"John", active:false},
{id:3, name:"Ben", active:true}]
For instance, setting John's active to true.
I tried to do this in Lodash but it doesn't return a proper result. It returns a lodash wrapper.
updatedList = _.chain(PeopleList)
.find({name:"John"})
.merge({active: true});
Well you don't even need lodash for this with es6:
PeopleList.find(people => people.name === "John").active = true;
//if the record might not exist, then
const john = PeopleList.find(people => people.name === "John")
if(john){
john.active = true;
}
Or if you don't want to mutate the original list
const newList = PeopleList.map(people => {
if(people.name === "John") {
return {...people, active: true};
}
return {...people};
});
_.find(PeopleList, { name: 'John' }).active = true
