setValueAtPath path value dict

setValueAtPath modifies dict to set the value at path to value and returns dict. path can be either a string containing a .-separated list of keys or a list of keys. The function will create new key/value pairs in dict if needed.

This is an alternative to sprig's set function with a different argument order that supports pipelining.

Example

{{ dict | setValueAtPath "key1" "value1" | setValueAtPath "key2.nestedKey" "value2" | toJson }}
{{ dict | setValueAtPath (list "key2" "nestedKey") "value2" | toJson }}
