Modify object property in an array of objects

var foo = [{ bar: 1, baz: [1,2,3] }, { bar: 2, baz: [4,5,6] }];

var filtered = $.grep(foo, function(v){
    return v.bar === 1;
});

console.log(filtered);

Is there any way to modify a certain objects property (like the one I'm filtering out above) without creating new arrays and/or objects?

Desired result: [{ bar: 1, baz: [11,22,33] }, { bar: 2, baz: [4,5,6] }]

.map with spread (...) operator

var result = foo.map(el => el.bar == 1 ? {...el, baz: [11,22,33]} : el);

Sure, just change it:

With jQuery's $.each:

$.each(foo, function() {
    if (this.bar === 1) {
        this.baz[0] = 11;
        this.baz[1] = 22;
        this.baz[2] = 33;
        // Or: `this.baz = [11, 22, 33];`
    }
});

With ES5's forEach:

foo.forEach(function(obj) {
    if (obj.bar === 1) {
        obj.baz[0] = 11;
        obj.baz[1] = 22;
        obj.baz[2] = 33;
        // Or: `obj.baz = [11, 22, 33];`
    }
});

...or you have other looping options in this other SO answer.

You can use find and change its property.

let foo = [{ bar: 1, baz: [1,2,3] }, { bar: 2, baz: [4,5,6] }];

let obj = foo.find(f=>f.bar==1);
if(obj)
  obj.baz=[2,3,4];
console.log(foo);

Without jQuery and backwards compatibility

for (var i = 0; i < foo.length; i++) {
    if (foo[i].bar === 1) {
        foo[i].baz = [11,12,13];
    }
}

We can also achieve this by using Array's map function:

 foo.map((obj) => {
   if(obj.bar == 1){
     obj.baz[0] = 11;
     obj.baz[1] = 22;
     obj.baz[2] = 33;
   }
 })
