merge-deep
Advanced tools
The merge-deep npm package is a utility for deeply merging objects in JavaScript. It is useful for combining configurations, options, or states in a way that nested properties are not lost but instead merged together.
Deep merging of objects
This feature allows you to deeply merge multiple objects into one. It recursively merges own and inherited enumerable properties of source objects into the destination object, skipping source properties that resolve to `undefined`.
{"const mergeDeep = require('merge-deep');\nconst object1 = { a: { b: 1 } };\nconst object2 = { a: { c: 2 }, d: 3 };\nconst result = mergeDeep(object1, object2);\nconsole.log(result); // Output: { a: { b: 1, c: 2 }, d: 3 }"}
Merging with array concatenation
Merge-deep can also merge arrays by concatenating them. This is useful when you want to combine arrays from different objects without losing any elements.
{"const mergeDeep = require('merge-deep');\nconst object1 = { a: [1, 2], b: 'one' };\nconst object2 = { a: [3, 4], b: 'two' };\nconst result = mergeDeep(object1, object2);\nconsole.log(result); // Output: { a: [1, 2, 3, 4], b: 'two' }"}
Customizing merge behavior
Users can define a custom merge function to control how merging is done. This is particularly useful when the default behavior of merge-deep does not suit the specific needs of your application.
{"const mergeDeep = require('merge-deep');\nfunction customMerge(a, b) {\n return Array.isArray(a) ? a.concat(b) : undefined;\n}\nconst object1 = { a: [1], b: [2] };\nconst object2 = { a: [3], b: [4] };\nconst result = mergeDeep({ customMerge }, object1, object2);\nconsole.log(result); // Output: { a: [1, 3], b: [2, 4] }"}
Lodash's merge function is similar to merge-deep as it allows for deep merging of objects. Lodash is a larger utility library, and its merge function is one of many utilities it provides. It is well-tested and widely used in the JavaScript community.
Deepmerge is another npm package that provides deep merging capabilities. It is similar to merge-deep but offers additional options for customizing the merge behavior, such as whether to clone or not clone the source objects, and how to handle merging arrays.
The extend package is a port of the jQuery extend method that can also perform deep merging of objects. It is less specialized than merge-deep and deepmerge, but it is still a viable option for users who prefer a jQuery-like API.

Install with npm
$ npm i merge-deep --save
var merge = require('merge-deep');
merge({a: {b: {c: 'c', d: 'd'}}}, {a: {b: {e: 'e', f: 'f'}}});
//=> { a: { b: { c: 'c', d: 'd', e: 'e', f: 'f' } } }
extend
but recursively copies only the missing properties/values to the target object. | homepageInstall dev dependencies:
$ npm i -d && npm test
