> Quickly update a value in a deeply nested object and clone each node touched for simple change tracking `===`.

Check out [dset](https://github.com/lukeed/dset) if you just want to do an in place mutation on a deeply nested value.

## Install

> npm i clean-set

Includes builds for commonjs, umd, and esm and is less than ~~200b~~ 182b gzip (thanks to [@lukeed](https://github.com/lukeed))

## Usage

```javascript
let current = {
a: { b: [], c: true },
d: [],
e: {
f: { g: 'hello' },
h: { i: 0 },
},
};

let next = cleanSet(current, 'e.h.i', 1);

/**
* Alternatively you can provide a function for the final parameter to
* receive the current value of that node.
*
* let next = cleanSet(current, 'e.h.i', i => i + 1);
*/

// The value is assigned
console.log(next.e.h.i !== current.e.h.i); // true

// Each parent node touched is a new reference
console.log(next.e.h !== current.e.h); // true
console.log(next.e !== current.e); // true
console.log(next !== current); // true

// Untouched references remain the same
console.log(next.e.f === current.e.f); // true
console.log(next.a === current.a); // true
console.log(next.a.b === current.a.b); // true
console.log(next.d === current.d); // true
```

Here's what an object spread equivalent would look like.

```javascript
let next = {
...current,
e: {
...current.e,
h: { ...current.e.h, i: 1 },
},
};
```

> Note: YMMV canary and firefox dev have some impressive improvements for object assign and object spread respectively.
