|  | # set-value [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/set-value) [](https://npmjs.org/package/set-value) [](https://npmjs.org/package/set-value) [](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/set-value)
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | > Create nested values and any intermediaries using dot notation (`'a.b.c'`) paths.
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## Install
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/): | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```sh | ||
|  | $ npm install --save set-value | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## Usage
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | var set = require('set-value'); | ||
|  | set(object, prop, value); | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Params
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | * `object` **{object}**: The object to set `value` on | ||
|  | * `prop` **{string}**: The property to set. Dot-notation may be used. | ||
|  | * `value` **{any}**: The value to set on `object[prop]` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## Examples
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Updates and returns the given object: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | var obj = {}; | ||
|  | set(obj, 'a.b.c', 'd'); | ||
|  | console.log(obj); | ||
|  | //=> { a: { b: { c: 'd' } } } | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Escaping
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | **Escaping with backslashes** | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Prevent set-value from splitting on a dot by prefixing it with backslashes: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | console.log(set({}, 'a\\.b.c', 'd')); | ||
|  | //=> { 'a.b': { c: 'd' } } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | console.log(set({}, 'a\\.b\\.c', 'd')); | ||
|  | //=> { 'a.b.c': 'd' } | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | **Escaping with double-quotes or single-quotes** | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Wrap double or single quotes around the string, or part of the string, that should not be split by set-value: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | console.log(set({}, '"a.b".c', 'd')); | ||
|  | //=> { 'a.b': { c: 'd' } } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | console.log(set({}, "'a.b'.c", "d")); | ||
|  | //=> { 'a.b': { c: 'd' } } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | console.log(set({}, '"this/is/a/.file.path"', 'd')); | ||
|  | //=> { 'this/is/a/file.path': 'd' } | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Bracket support
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | set-value does not split inside brackets or braces: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | console.log(set({}, '[a.b].c', 'd')); | ||
|  | //=> { '[a.b]': { c: 'd' } } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | console.log(set({}, "(a.b).c", "d")); | ||
|  | //=> { '(a.b)': { c: 'd' } } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | console.log(set({}, "<a.b>.c", "d")); | ||
|  | //=> { '<a.b>': { c: 'd' } } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | console.log(set({}, "{a..b}.c", "d")); | ||
|  | //=> { '{a..b}': { c: 'd' } } | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## History
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### v2.0.0
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | * Adds support for escaping with double or single quotes. See [escaping](#escaping) for examples. | ||
|  | * Will no longer split inside brackets or braces. See [bracket support](#bracket-support) for examples. | ||
