js create a copy of object code example
Example 1: clone object in js
var student = {name: "Rahul", age: "16", hobby: "football"};
//using ES6
var studentCopy1 = Object.assign({}, student);
//using spread syntax
var studentCopy2 = {...student};
//Fast cloning with data loss
var studentCopy3 = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(student));
Example 2: copy object javascript
var x = {myProp: "value"};
var y = Object.assign({}, x);
Example 3: copy object javascript
var x = {key: 'value'}
var y = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(x))
//this method actually creates a reference-free version of the object, unlike the other methods
//If you do not use Dates, functions, undefined, regExp or Infinity within your object
Example 4: copy an object with object.assign
// We want to update status property value to 'online'
const data = {
user: 'CamperBot',
status: 'offline',
friends: '732,982',
};
// Object.assign takes in a target object (1st parameter) and source objects
// (rest of the parameter list). Source object properties are mapped to the
// target object (which is usually empty). Any matching properties are
// overwritten by the source objects
const newObject = Object.assign({}, data, {status: 'online'})
console.log(newObject)
/*
{
user: 'CamperBot',
status: 'online',
friends: '732,982',
}
*/
