How to Deep clone in javascript

Question

How do you deep clone a JavaScript object?

I know there are various functions based on frameworks like JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(o)) and $.extend(t

Answer 1

This solution will avoid recursion problems when using [...target] or {...target}

function shallowClone(target) {
  if (typeof a == 'array') return [...target]
  if (typeof a == 'object') return {...target}
  return target
}

/* set skipRecursion to avoid throwing an exception on recursive references */
/* no need to specify refs, or path -- they are used interally */
function deepClone(target, skipRecursion, refs, path) {
  if (!refs) refs = []
  if (!path) path = ''
  if (refs.indexOf(target) > -1) {
    if (skipRecursion) return null
    throw('Recursive reference at ' + path)
  }
  refs.push(target)
  let clone = shallowCopy(target)
  for (i in target) target[i] = deepClone(target, refs, path + '.' + i)
  return clone
}
