What is @types/lodash.clonedeep?
@types/lodash.clonedeep is a TypeScript type definition package for the lodash.clonedeep function. This package provides type definitions to ensure type safety and better development experience when using the lodash.clonedeep function in TypeScript projects.
What are @types/lodash.clonedeep's main functionalities?
Deep Cloning of Objects
This feature allows you to create a deep clone of an object, meaning all nested objects are also cloned, not just the top-level properties.
const _ = require('lodash.clonedeep');
const original = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } };
const clone = _.cloneDeep(original);
console.log(clone); // { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } }
Deep Cloning of Arrays
This feature allows you to create a deep clone of an array, ensuring that nested arrays are also cloned.
const _ = require('lodash.clonedeep');
const original = [1, [2, 3], 4];
const clone = _.cloneDeep(original);
console.log(clone); // [1, [2, 3], 4]
Deep Cloning of Complex Structures
This feature allows you to create a deep clone of complex structures that include objects, arrays, and other types like Date.
const _ = require('lodash.clonedeep');
const original = { a: [1, { b: 2 }], c: new Date() };
const clone = _.cloneDeep(original);
console.log(clone); // { a: [1, { b: 2 }], c: Date }
