clone-deep

clone-deep

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

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save clone-deep

Usage

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' }]

Heads up!

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.

Attribution

Initially based on mout's implementation of deepClone.

Similar packages

Other packages similar to clone-deep

lodash.clonedeep

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.

deep-copy

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

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.
