Makeify

Makeify is a utility to create deeply nested objects from paths. Similar to lodash's _.set. Makeify uses ES6 proxies to enable a convenient syntax.

How to use

import makeify from 'makeify'
 
// Create a new object
const value = makeify().deeply.nested[1]('a value'); //  === { deeply: { nested : [undefined, 'a value '] } }
 
// Mutate an existing object
const obj = { key: 'value' }
makeify(obj).key2('value 2') // obj === { key: 'value', key2: 'value 2'}
 

Browser and server support

ES6 Proxies are currently supported by the latest stable version of Chrome, Firefox and Edge. It is not supported by Node 5.x or Safari yet.
