Trying to replace all instances of a character in an object properties values

I'm trying to replace all instances of a character in an object properties values

I'm stuck here. I can't figure out how to modify the value. 

for(let [key, val] in obj){
     if(typeof val === "string"){ 
     ???? = val.replace(/,/g, '')
     }
}

Using Object.entries() and Array.prototype.forEach()

const obj = { a1: "aaaa,11,aa",  b2: "bbbb,22,bb"};

Object.entries(obj).forEach(([key, val]) => obj[key] = val.replace(/,/g, ""));

console.log(obj)

You can use Object.keys

Object.keys(obj).forEach((key) => (obj[key] = obj[key].replace("A", "n")));

You can't use destructuring to iterate over an object's properties and values with for-in.

And in order to replace the value, you have to use an object accessor, you can't replace with destructuring.

for (let key in obj) {
    if (typeof obj[key] == "string") {
        obj[key] = obj[key].replace(/,/g, '');
    }
}
