|
Creates a deep clone of an object.
|
|
|
|
Use recursion.
|
|
Check if the passed object is `null` and, if so, return `null`.
|
|
Use `Object.assign()` and an empty object (`{}`) to create a shallow clone of the original.
|
|
Use `Object.keys()` and `Array.prototype.forEach()` to determine which key-value pairs need to be deep cloned.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const deepClone = obj => {
|
|
if (obj === null) return null;
|
|
let clone = Object.assign({}, obj);
|
|
Object.keys(clone).forEach(
|
|
key => (clone[key] = typeof obj[key] === 'object' ? deepClone(obj[key]) : obj[key])
|
|
);
|
|
return Array.isArray(obj) && obj.length
|
|
? (clone.length = obj.length) && Array.from(clone)
|
|
: Array.isArray(obj)
|
|
? Array.from(obj)
|
|
: clone;
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const a = { foo: 'bar', obj: { a: 1, b: 2 } };
|
|
const b = deepClone(a); // a !== b, a.obj !== b.obj
|
|
``` |
