Description

This package allows for cloning and freezing all the way, and even supports circular references!

Import

Terminal

npm install @protagonists/deep

Node.js

const { deepClone, deepFreeze } = require("@protagonists/deep");

Example

Code:

// Imports
const { deepClone } = require("@protagonists/deep");

// Create some object
const John = {
  name: "John",
  age: 37,
  friend: {
    name: "Steve",
    age: 35
  }
}

// Clone it
const clone = deepClone("John");
// Edit a value in the nested object
clone.friend.name = "Meep";

// Log them both
// this show that the nested object in the clone is not the same!
console.log(John);
console.log(clone);

Output:

{
  name: 'John',
  age: 37,
  friend: {
    name: 'Steve',
    age: 35
  }
}
{
  name: 'John',
  age: 37,
  friend: {
    name: 'Meep',
    age: 35
  }
}
