u.init - a way to initialize a brand new state

[ansonkao]

Since updeep is an immutability tool, I think it makes sense to have an initialization method to freeze a starting state. We could call this u.init perhaps, but ideally it would be the root method:

var state = u({someKey: "Some Value"})
state.someKey = "Mutate" // ERROR

This would help enforce the practice of using updeep at all points where one might be tempted to mutate state. Thoughts?

u.freeze

Ah, it's not documented at the moment, if you'd like to add some documentation that'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds good, will do!

Any thoughts on having the functionality on the root function though? It feels right to me. If no second argument is provided, just return the first argument frozen. If a second argument is provided, behave the same as before. Keep u.freeze as an explicit alias.

The root function is curried, it's common to do things like:

const addName = u({ name: 'foo' })
addName({ ... })

Ah, nvm then, thanks! :)
