Add update method [Feature Request]
Currently the only available setter Store.set() either sets a single item or takes an object to set multiple values. Providing an object would overwrite the whole value, which is a normal/expected behavior. Though, this leaves out use cases where we want to update multiple fields at a path in one go.
Example:
const store = new Store();
store.store = {
users: {
p9dsbfo0b0sbd: {
name: 'John Smith',
email: '[email protected]',
age: 52,
occupation: {
title: 'Web Developer',
remote: false
}
}
}
};
// Updating multiple values (we'll either lose 'email' and 'occupation.title' fields or a schema validation error is thrown)
store.set('users.p9dsbfo0b0sbd', {
name: 'John M. Smith',
age: 53,
occupation: {
remote: true
}
});
// Must do
store.set('users.p9dsbfo0b0sbd.name', 'John M. Smith');
store.set('users.p9dsbfo0b0sbd.age', 53);
store.set('users.p9dsbfo0b0sbd.occupation.remote', true);
// Better be able to do (object should be merged deeply)
store.update('users.p9dsbfo0b0sbd', {
name: 'John M. Smith',
age: 53,
occupation: {
remote: true
}
});
