I am updating an object within an array in React state using immutability helper.
The object I want to modify is nested:
this.state = { a: { b: [{ c: '', d: ''}, ...] } }
I want to update the prop c within the nth element of b using immutability helper.
The equivalent code without the immutability helper is:
const newState = Object.assign({}, this.state); newState.a = Object.assign({}, newState.a); newState.a.b = newState.a.b.slice(); newState.a.b[n] = Object.assign({}, newState.a.b[n]); newState.a.b[n].c = 'new value'; this.setState({ newState });
I know the above code is a bit ugly. I am assuming the code using immutability helper will solve my problem. Thanks
