clone

offers foolproof deep cloning of objects, arrays, numbers, strings, maps, sets, promises, etc. in JavaScript.

XSS vulnerability detected

Installation

npm install clone

(It also works with browserify, ender or standalone. You may want to use the option noParse in browserify to reduce the resulting file size, since usually Buffers are not needed in browsers.)

Example

var clone = require('clone');

var a, b;

a = { foo: { bar: 'baz' } };  // initial value of a

b = clone(a);                 // clone a -> b
a.foo.bar = 'foo';            // change a

console.log(a);               // show a
console.log(b);               // show b

This will print:

{ foo: { bar: 'foo' } }
{ foo: { bar: 'baz' } }

clone masters cloning simple objects (even with custom prototype), arrays, Date objects, and RegExp objects. Everything is cloned recursively, so that you can clone dates in arrays in objects, for example.

API

clone(val, circular, depth)

• val -- the value that you want to clone, any type allowed

• circular -- boolean

  Call clone with circular set to false if you are certain that obj contains no circular references. This will give better performance if needed. There is no error if undefined or null is passed as obj.

• depth -- depth to which the object is to be cloned (optional, defaults to infinity)

• prototype -- sets the prototype to be used when cloning an object. (optional, defaults to parent prototype).

• includeNonEnumerable -- set to true if the non-enumerable properties should be cloned as well. Non-enumerable properties on the prototype chain will be ignored. (optional, defaults to false)

clone.clonePrototype(obj)

• obj -- the object that you want to clone

Does a prototype clone as described by Oran Looney.

Circular References

var a, b;

a = { hello: 'world' };

a.myself = a;
b = clone(a);

console.log(b);

This will print:

{ hello: "world", myself: [Circular] }

So, b.myself points to b, not a. Neat!
