You may have a need to merge two objects together and create a better informative object to work with. You can use the spread operator ...
(yes, that are three dots).
Consider the two objects emp and job:
let emp = {
'id': 'E_01',
'name': 'Jack',
'age': 32,
'addr': 'India'
};
let job = {
'title': 'Software Dev',
'location': 'Paris'
};
You can merge them via the ...
spread operator into a single object:
// spread operator
let merged = {...emp, ...job};
console.log('Spread merged', merged);
There is another way to perform this merge via Object.assign()
console.log('Object assign', Object.assign({}, emp, job));
The output will be:
Note, both the spread operator and the Object.assign perform a shallow merge. In a shallow merge, the properties of the first object are overwritten with the same property values as the second object.
For deep merge, please use something like for example _merge
of lodash.
