Object is immutable in Coffeescript?

Question

c.models.car.findOne where: {id: 1}, (err, car)->
    car['seat'] = 1  #seat is not originally in the car object but I would like to add it
    car['color'] = 'red'  #color is originally in car and is changed
    console.log car

The issue is that color is being changed, but seat is not being added. When I do typeof car it returns object. Any ideas?

I think you are using an ORM which decline the assignment. Try to use this:

c.models.car.findOne where: {id: 1}, (err, car)->
    car = car.toObject(); # or car = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(car))
    car['seat'] = 1  #seat is not originally in the car object but I would like to add it
    car['color'] = 'red'  #color is originally in car and is changed
    console.log car
