clone-deep
Advanced tools
Recursively (deep) clone JavaScript native types, like Object, Array, RegExp, Date as well as primitives.
The clone-deep npm package is designed for deep cloning of objects, arrays, maps, sets, and primitive types in JavaScript. It ensures that when you clone a structure, you get a new structure with the same values but without references to the original objects, allowing for safe manipulation without affecting the original data.
Cloning Objects
This feature allows for deep cloning of objects. The code demonstrates cloning an object and modifying the clone without affecting the original object.
const cloneDeep = require('clone-deep');
let obj = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } };
let clonedObj = cloneDeep(obj);
clonedObj.b.c = 3;
console.log(obj.b.c); // 2Cloning Arrays
This feature enables deep cloning of arrays. The code shows how an array is cloned and modified, with the original array remaining unchanged.
const cloneDeep = require('clone-deep');
let arr = [1, [2, 3]];
let clonedArr = cloneDeep(arr);
clonedArr[1][0] = 4;
console.log(arr[1][0]); // 2Cloning Maps and Sets
This feature supports the deep cloning of Map and Set objects. The code illustrates cloning a Map and altering the clone without impacting the original Map.
const cloneDeep = require('clone-deep');
let map = new Map([[1, 'a']]);
let clonedMap = cloneDeep(map);
clonedMap.set(1, 'b');
console.log(map.get(1)); // 'a'Lodash's clonedeep method offers similar deep cloning functionality. It is part of the larger Lodash library, which provides a wide range of utility functions for JavaScript. Compared to clone-deep, lodash.clonedeep is part of a larger utility library, which might be preferable for projects already using Lodash for other purposes.
The deep-copy package also provides deep cloning capabilities. It focuses solely on deep cloning, similar to clone-deep. The main difference may lie in the specific implementation details and performance optimizations.
Ramda is a functional programming library that includes deep cloning capabilities among its wide array of functions. Compared to clone-deep, Ramda offers a more comprehensive toolkit for functional programming in JavaScript, which includes but is not limited to deep cloning.
Recursively (deep) clone JavaScript native types, like Object, Array, RegExp, Date as well as primitives.
Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save clone-deep
const cloneDeep = require('clone-deep');
let obj = { a: 'b' };
let arr = [obj];
let copy = cloneDeep(arr);
obj.c = 'd';
console.log(copy);
//=> [{ a: 'b' }]
console.log(arr);
//=> [{ a: 'b', c: 'd' }]
The last argument specifies whether or not to clone instances (objects that are from a custom class or are not created by the Object constructor. This value may be true or the function use for cloning instances.
When an instanceClone function is provided, it will be invoked to clone objects that are not "plain" objects (as defined by isPlainObjectisPlainObject). If instanceClone is not specified, this library will not attempt to clone non-plain objects, and will simply copy the object reference.
Initially based on mout's implementation of deepClone.
