dict_set

The dict_set function sets or updates a key-value pair in a dictionary and returns the modified dictionary.

Syntax

{{ $dict := dict_set dictionary "key" value }}

Example

{{ $settings := dict_create "volume" 50 "muted" false }}
{{ $settings = dict_set $settings "volume" 75 }}
{{ $settings = dict_set $settings "equalizer" "on" }}

Volume: {{ dict_get $settings "volume" }}
Muted: {{ dict_get $settings "muted" }}
Equalizer: {{ dict_get $settings "equalizer" }}

Output:

Volume: 75
Muted: false
Equalizer: on

Notes

• If the key already exists, its value is updated
• If the key doesn't exist, it's added to the dictionary
• Returns the modified dictionary (allows chaining)
• Modifies the original dictionary in place
