oh f2abd5c226 fix(deepClone): Fixed problems with array values
Would previously create an object with indices as keys. Now properly clones as array.

### 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.
```js
const deepClone = obj => {
if (Array.isArray(obj)){
let arr = [];
obj.forEach(
(i,v) => (arr[i] = typeof v === 'object' ? deepClone(v) : v)
)
return arr;
}else {
let clone = Object.assign({}, obj);
Object.keys(clone).forEach(
key => (clone[key] = typeof obj[key] === 'object' ? deepClone(obj[key]) : obj[key])
);
return clone;
}
};
```
```js
const a = { foo: 'bar', obj: { a: 1, b: 2 } };
const b = deepClone(a); // a !== b, a.obj !== b.obj
```
