Package Exports

node.extend
node.extend/index.js
node.extend/lib/extend
node.extend/lib/extend.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (node.extend) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

node.extend

A port of jQuery.extend that actually works on node.js

Description

None of the existing ones on npm really work therefore I ported it myself.

Usage

To install this module in your current working directory (which should already contain a package.json), run

npm install node.extend

You can additionally just list the module in your package.json and run npm install.

Then, require this package where you need it:

var extend = require('node.extend');

The syntax for merging two objects is as follows:

var destObject = extend({}, sourceObject);
// Where sourceObject is the object whose properties will be copied into another.
// NOTE: In this situation, this is not a deep merge. See below on how to handle a deep merge.

For information about how the clone works internally, view source in lib/extend.js or checkout the doc from jQuery

A Note About Deep Merge (avoiding pass-by-reference cloning)

In order to force a deep merge, when extending an object, you must pass boolean true as the first argument to extend:

var destObject = extend(true, {}, sourceObject);
// Where sourceObject is the object whose properties will be copied into another.

See this article for more information about the need for deep merges in JavaScript.
