Build a object with JSONPath start from empty object

[cesco69]

Is it possible use JSONPath for build an object starting from empty object?

EG:

const data = {}; // start from empty object

const updater = (cb: (value: string) => string): JSONPathCallback => (value, _, { parent, parentProperty }) => {
    parent[parentProperty] = cb(value);
   return parent;
}
// add in book object author name Foo Bar
const r = JSONPath({
    path: '$.book.author',
    json: data,
   callback: updater(() => 'Foo Bar'),
});
console.log(data)

expected output

{
  book: {
    author: 'Foo Bar'
  }
}

output

{}
