Should i store deeply nested data in plain objects or a class?

[charred junco]

So I find myself calling:

setCurrentWorkout(
                                            produce(currentWorkout, (draft) => {
                                                draft.name = e.currentTarget.value;
                                            }),
                                        )

all over the code base. So I was thinking whether I should create a class with methods like .setName so that I can simplify data manipulation.

seems like you are already using immer, then why not use use-immer? makes things like this very simple. https://github.com/immerjs/use-immer

your example would become

setCurrentWorkout(draft => {
  draft.name = e.currentTarget.value;
});
