putil-merge

A 'swiss army knife' solution for merging multiple objects into one. It supports deep merge, cloning objects, copying descriptors and filtering.

Installation

$ npm install putil-merge --save

Usage

merge([config], target, [source])

• config [Object]
  • deep [Boolean]: If true, it performs deep merge operation.
  • clone [Boolean]: If true, it clones objects except setting references
  • descriptor [Boolean]: If true, it copies descriptors
  • filter [Function(obj, key, value)]
• target [Object]
• source [Object|Array<Object>]

Sequential calling

It supports sequential calling style.

merge.(option).(option)...(target, source)

Etc:

merge(target, source)

merge.deep(target, source)

merge.deep.clone(target, source)

merge.clone.deep(target, source)

merge.descriptor(target, source)

merge.deep.descriptor(target, [source1, source2])

merge.clone.descriptor(target, source)

merge.deep.clone.descriptor(target, [source1, source2])

merge.deep.clone.descriptor(target, source)

merge.clone.deep.descriptor(target, source)

merge.descriptor.clone.deep(target, source)

merge.descriptor.filter(filterfn)(target, source)

Examples

Merge source object over target object:

const a = {prm1: 1, prm2: 2};
const b = {prm1: 11, prm3: [1, 2, 3, 4]};
var merged = merge(a, b);

Clone any object:

const a = {prm1: 1, prm2: { prm3: 3}};
var cloned = merge.clone(a);
var deepCloned = merge.deep.clone(a);

Merge source object over target object with custom filtering:

var a = {id: 1};
var b = {name: 'John', surname: 'Wick'};
var merged = merge.deep.filter(function(o,k,v){
  return k === 'name';  
})(target, source);
