Cloning a TypeScript Object

Question

  constructor ( private id: string, private name: string ) {

Answer 1

This seems to work for me:

var newObject = Object.assign(Object.create(oldObj), oldObj)

Object.create creates a new instance with empty properties Object.assign then takes that new instance and assigns the properties

A more robust version of a clone function

    clone(obj) {
        if(Array.isArray(obj)) {
            return Array.from(obj);
        } else {
            return Object.assign(Object.create(obj), obj);
        }
    }
