Hey everyone, in this video, I'm going to show you how to change only the parent object in JavaScript. So, let's say you have a nested object and you want to update the parent object without affecting its children. Here's how you can do it. First, let's create a sample nested object:

const nestedObj = { parent: { child1: 'value1', child2: 'value2' } }; Now, to change only the parent object, you can use the JSON.parse and JSON.stringify methods. Here's the code:

const updatedParent = { newParentKey: 'newValue', ...nestedObj.parent }; const updatedObj = { ...nestedObj, parent: updatedParent }; console.log(updatedObj); This code uses object spreading to create a new parent object and then merges it with the original nested object using object spreading again. This way, you're only modifying the parent object and not its children. Another way to achieve the same result is by using the JSON methods:

const updatedParent = { newParentKey: 'newValue', ...nestedObj.parent }; const updatedObj = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify({ ...nestedObj, parent: updatedParent })); console.log(updatedObj); By stringifying the object and then parsing it again, you create a deep copy of the object, allowing you to modify the parent object without affecting its children. So, there you have it! Two simple ways to change only the parent object in JavaScript. I hope you found this video helpful.
