I'm trying to replace arrays of an old object with values from a new object which has arrays... I guess it will make sense when you see an example and desire result:
https://jsfiddle.net/redlive/9coq7dmu/
const oldValues = {
a: 1,
b: [2, 21, 22, 23],
c: {
d: 3,
e: 4,
f: [5, 6, 7]
}
};
const updatedValues = {
b: [],
c: {
f: [8]
}
}
const result = _.merge( oldValues, updatedValues );
console.log(result);
/* Desire result:
{
a: 1,
b: [],
c: {
d: 3,
e: 4,
f: [8]
}
}
*/

Use _.mergeWith()
, and if the 2nd value is an array, return it. If not return undefined
, and let merge handle it:
const oldValues = {"a":1,"b":[2,21,22,23],"c":{"d":3,"e":4,"f":[5,6,7]}};
const updatedValues = {"b":[],"c":{"f":[8]}};
const result = _.mergeWith({}, oldValues, updatedValues, (a, b) =>
_.isArray(b) ? b : undefined
);
console.log(result);
