javascript deep clone array code example

Example 1: deep clone array in javascript

const numbers = [1, [2], [3, [4]], 5];

// Using JavaScript
JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(numbers));

// Using Lodash
_.cloneDeep(numbers);

Example 2: copy object array javascript

var ar = ["apple","banana","canaple"];
var bar = Array.from(ar);
alert(bar[1]); // alerts 'banana'

// Notes: this is for in In ES6, works for an object of arrays too! 
// (May not be applicable for deep-copy situations?)

Example 3: js clone deep

// only works with pure JSON data (bool, numbers, strings, arrays, nested
// objects; No functions).
var obj2 = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj));

// works with everything, requires lodash library, faster than previous answer
var obj2 = _.cloneDeep(obj, true);

// shallow copy
var obj2 = Object.assign({}, obj);
