Clone

A simple and complete clone method.

It will return a new object with all the properties and methods of the original object.

This clone method will act recursively also cloning the possible references that an object may have.

Installation

To install this module using npm.

npm install @goori-soft/clone

How to use it

This is a simple example.

const clone = require('@goori-soft/clone');

const parent = {
    id: 0,
    name: 'Peter' 
};

const myObj = {
    id: 1,
    name: 'Maria',
    age: 45,
    parent,
    changeParentsName: function(name){
        this.parent.name = name;
    }
}

parent.child = myObj;

const myClone = clone(myObj);
myClone.changeParentsName('Olaf');

console.log('Original:', myObj);
console.log('Clone:', myClone);

Note

If you intend to clone an object keeping the original references, it might be more interesting to use a native javascript destructor.

In this case, this module is entirely unnecessary.

const parent = {
    id: 0,
    name: 'Peter' 
};

const myObj = {
    id: 1,
    name: 'Maria',
    age: 45,
    parent,
    changeParentsName: function(name){
        this.parent.name = name;
    }
}

parent.child = myObj;

const myClone = {...myObj};

console.log('Original:', myObj);
console.log('Clone:', myClone);
