This PR adds support for JSON pointers to set statements, e.g.
{% set x.y = 1 %}
sets they
member ofx
to 1.Previously, you could use JSON pointer syntax in a set statement, but it did not work as you might expect.
{% set x.y = 1 %}
would render without errors, but{{ x.y }}
would not be set to 1.Tests are included. In addition to adding tests for set statements with JSON pointers, I also added tests for setting variables that are in the original JSON data, as such tests seemed to be missing.
I also updated the
README.md
section to explain that JSON pointers work to set sub-objects and that the set statement will not modify the underlying JSON object you pass in to arender
call.
