deepClone

Creates a deep clone of an object.

Use recursion. Use Object.assign() and an empty object ({}) to create a shallow clone of the original. Use Object.keys() and Array.forEach() to determine which key-value pairs need to be deep cloned.

const deepClone = obj => {
  let clone = Object.assign({}, obj);
  Object.keys(clone).forEach(
    key =>
      (clone[key] = typeof obj[key] === 'object'
        ? deepClone(obj[key])
        : obj[key])
  );
  return clone;
};

const a = { foo: 'bar', obj: { a: 1, b: 2 } };
const b = deepClone(a); // a !== b, a.obj !== b.obj
