lodash set() and defaults() not working

[amsam0]

Hi,

I recently came across a problem when using db.chain. It may also affect other methods but I'm not sure.

db.chain.set()

If your database is this: { "test": { "test2": 1 } } And your code is this:

import lodash from "lodash";
import { LowSync, JSONFileSync } from "lowdb";

const db = new LowSync(new JSONFileSync("test.json"));

db.read();

db.chain = lodash.chain(db.data);

console.log("Before: " + db.data.test.test2);

db.chain.get("test").set("test2", 2);

console.log("After: " + db.data.test.test2);

Running it will output this:

Before: 1
After: 1

db.chain.defaults()

If your database is empty ({}) and your code is this:

import lodash from "lodash";
import { LowSync, JSONFileSync } from "lowdb";

const db = new LowSync(new JSONFileSync("test.json"));

db.read();

db.chain = lodash.chain(db.data);

db.chain.defaults({
    test: 1,
});

console.log(db.data);

It will output this:

{}

This only started happening when I moved to v2.

Thanks for looking at this issue and sorry for the large size

Could you try adding db.chain.defaults(...).value(), value executes chain.

That fixed both of them, maybe this should be added to the lodash part of the readme or something?
