Clone an object or array (Shallow Cloning)

#javascript #webdev #beginners #codenewbie

Note: This method is for shallow cloning.

const obj = {
  name: 'xyz',
  age: 20
};

const objCopy = obj; // objCopy would still point to the same object.
// i.e., If obj.age is changed (obj.age = 35;),  
// objCopy.age will also be 35

// To clone the object,
// Solution 1 - Use the spread operator. 
const objCopy = {...obj};

// Solution 2 - Object.assign() 
const objCopy = Object.assign({}, obj);
