How to change values in javascript when it's deep nested and the keys have spaces

Question

I have seen the answer here:

But what would you do if

const parent = { "A B": 
  {
   "1 2": "Hello",
   "3": "World"
  }
}

How would you change "Hello" to Hi?

I would first get rid of the unnecessary and confusing use of `const`, then I would say `parent["A B"]["1 2"] = "Hi"` — mhodges, Feb 07 '17 at 19:40

Just the same, by multiple bracket notations in a row.

const parent = { "A B": 
  {
   "1 2": "Hello",
   "3": "World"
  }
}

parent["A B"]["1 2"] = 'Hi';

console.log(parent);

Use brackets:

parent["A B"]["1 2"] = 'Hi';
