how to use

/** ES6 */
import resolve from "node-object-field-resolver";
/** commmonjs */
const resolve = require("node-object-field-resolver");

const obj = resolve(
   'x.y' /** absolute path */,
   {} /** object */,
   1 /** value */,
   '.' /** delimeter for path [.] is default */
);
/** result: obj ~ {x: { y: 1 } } */

const obj = resolve(
   'x.y' /** absolute path */,
   { x: { z: 2 } } /** object */,
   1 /** value */,
   '.' /** delimeter for path [.] is default */
   );
/** result: obj ~ {x: { y: 1, z: 2 } } */

can be used as well as:

const obj = { x: { z: 2 } }
resolve('x.y', obj, 1)
   -> as objects are passed as references
   -> result: 'obj' will look like { z: { y: 1, z: 2 } }
