How to replace Lodash's get and set to get and set properties in highly complex objects

Question

I am using lodash 's get and set to manipulate complex objects. Although Lodash is a good library, it also weighs considerably (about 40kb). I am tring to develop a lean web-app, and lodash takes half of the bundle size.

How would you build safe functions that can replace get and set ?

For instance, some function which will change the following object:

Set

const a = {b:2,c:{d:5}}

set(a,"cd",7)

Which will result

//a = {b:2,c:{d:7}} .

if a = {}, it will result:

{c:{d:7}}

Get

const a = {b:2,c:{d:5}}

let x = get(a,"cd",0)

Which will result

//x = 5 or if the path doesn't exist, //x = 0

You can build a recursive function in JavaScript to do that.

To set the data:

 const obj = {b:7,c:{d:{f:8}}}; const set = (string, obj, value) => { const [current,...rest] = string.split("."); rest.length >= 1? set(rest.join("."), obj[current] = obj[current] || {}, value): obj[current]= value; return obj; }; console.log(set("cdf", obj, 10));
