mergeObject

mergeObject
 is a beast of a function which lets you smash two objects together and that options argument lets you control how exactly you want to merge things.

Argument 1: Source Object --> What we are merging into (this is going to be mutated by default)
Argument 2: Mod Object --> What we are applying to the Source

insertKeys [true]
 -> If the Mod Object has keys in it which the Source does not have, add those keys to the Source object.

insertValues [true]
 -> If the Source Object's values are objects themselves, this controls whether to merge those values as part of this operation (kind of discount 
recursive
)


So for your case:
mergeObject(defaultValues, clientSettingsValues, {
  insertKeys: false,
  insertValues: false,
});

Where 
defaultValues
 is the setting's default, and the 
clientSettingsValues
 is the current setting value.

This would take the baseline default value and overwrite any existing key/value, but not merge value objects (instead, it would replace them). It'll overwrite because the 
overwrite
 option is true by default.
