@fastify/deepmerge

CI NPM version js-standard-style

Merges the enumerable properties of two or more objects deeply. Fastest implementation of deepmerge, see section 'Benchmarks'.

Install

npm i @fastify/deepmerge

Usage

The module exports a function, which provides a function to deepmerge Objects.

deepmerge(options)

options is optional and can contain following values

  • symbols (boolean, optional) - should also merge object-keys which are symbols, default is false
  • all (boolean, optional) - merges all parameters, default is false
  • mergeArray (function, optional) - provide a function, which returns a function to add custom array merging function
  • cloneProtoObject (function, optional) - provide a function, which must return a clone of the object with the prototype of the object
const deepmerge = require('@fastify/deepmerge')()
const result = deepmerge({a: 'value'}, { b: 404 })
console.log(result) // {a: 'value',  b: 404 }
const deepmerge = require('@fastify/deepmerge')({ all: true })
const result = deepmerge({a: 'value'}, { b: 404 }, { a: 404 })
console.log(result) // {a: 404,  b: 404 }
mergeArray

The default mode to merge Arrays is to concat the source-Array to the target-Array.

const target = [1, 2, 3]
const source = [4, 5, 6]
const deepmerge = require('@fastify/deepmerge')()
const result = deepmerge(target, source)
console.log(result) // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

To overwrite the default behaviour regarding merging Arrays, you can provide a function to the mergeArray option of the deepmerge-function. The function provided to mergeArray gets an options-parameter passed, which is an Object containing the following keys and values.

clone: (value: any) => any;
isMergeableObject: (value: any) => any;
deepmerge: DeepMergeFn;
getKeys: (value: object) => string[];

The mergeArray-Function needs to return the actual Array merging function, which accepts two parameters of type Array, and returns a value.

Example 1: Replace the target-Array with a clone of the source-Array.

function replaceByClonedSource(options) {
  const clone = options.clone
  return function (target, source) {
    return clone(source)
  }
}

const deepmerge = require('@fastify/deepmerge')({ mergeArray: replaceByClonedSource })
const result = deepmerge([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
console.log(result) // [4, 5, 6]

Example 2: Merge each element of the source-Array with the element at the same index-position of the target-Array.

function deepmergeArray(options) {
  const deepmerge = options.deepmerge
  const clone = options.clone
  return function (target, source) {
    let i = 0
    const tl = target.length
    const sl = source.length
    const il = Math.max(target.length, source.length)
    const result = new Array(il)
    for (i = 0; i < il; ++i) {
      if (i < sl) {
        result[i] = deepmerge(target[i], source[i])
      } else {
        result[i] = clone(target[i])
      }
    }
    return result
  }
}

// default behaviour
const deepmergeConcatArray = require('@fastify/deepmerge')()
const resultConcatArray = deepmergeConcatArray([{ a: [1, 2, 3 ]}], [{b: [4, 5, 6]}])
console.log(resultConcatArray) // [ { a: [ 1, 2, 3 ]}, { b: [ 4, 5, 6 ] } ]

// modified behaviour
const deepmergeDeepmergeArray = require('@fastify/deepmerge')({ mergeArray: deepmergeArray })
const resultDeepmergedArray = deepmergeDeepmergeArray([{ a: [1, 2, 3 ]}], [{b: [4, 5, 6]}])
console.log(resultDeepmergedArray) // [ { a: [ 1, 2, 3 ], b: [ 4, 5, 6 ] } ]
cloneProtoObject

Merging objects with prototypes, such as Streams or Buffers, are not supported by default. You can provide a custom function to let this module deal with the object that has a prototype (JSON object excluded).

function cloneByReference (source) {
  return source
}

const deepmergeByReference = require('@fastify/deepmerge')({
  cloneProtoObject: cloneByReference
})

const result = deepmergeByReference({}, { stream: process.stdout })
console.log(result) // { stream: <ref *1> WriteStream }
