assign-symbols
Advanced tools
Assign the enumerable symbol properties from an object (or objects) to the first object passed on the arguments.
The assign-symbols npm package is designed to copy enumerable and non-enumerable symbols from one or more source objects to a target object. This is particularly useful when you need to ensure that all properties, including symbols, are transferred between objects, which is not handled by standard methods like Object.assign.
Copying symbols
This feature allows the copying of symbols from one or more source objects to a target object. It is useful for ensuring that all properties, including non-enumerable and symbol-typed properties, are copied.
const assignSymbols = require('assign-symbols');
const target = {};
const source = {};
Symbol.for('mySymbol') = 'value';
source[Symbol.for('mySymbol')] = 'copied value';
assignSymbols(target, source);
console.log(target[Symbol.for('mySymbol')]); // 'copied value'Similar to assign-symbols, the 'extend' package can also copy properties from one object to another. However, it primarily focuses on copying own properties and does not specifically handle symbols as assign-symbols does.
This package offers functionality similar to Object.assign but includes fixes for certain edge cases. Like assign-symbols, it is used to copy properties from source objects to a target object, but it does not handle symbols specifically.
