warewms-PDA/node_modules/klona

A tiny (240B to 501B) and fast utility to "deep clone" Objects, Arrays, Dates, RegExps, and more!

Features

• Super tiny and performant
• Deep clone / recursive copies
• Safely handles complex data types
  Array, Date, Map, Object, RegExp, Set, TypedArray, and more

Unlike a "shallow copy" (eg, Object.assign), a "deep clone" recursively traverses a source input and copies its values — instead of references to its values — into a new instance of that input. The result is a structurally equivalent clone that operates independently of the original source and controls its own values.

Why "klona"? It's "clone" in Swedish.
What's with the sheep? Dolly.

Install

$ npm install --save klona

There are multiple "versions" of klona available, which allows you to bring only the functionality you need!

Usage

import { klona } from 'klona';

const input = {
  foo: 1,
  bar: {
    baz: 2,
    bat: {
      hello: 'world'
    }
  }
};

const output = klona(input);

// exact copy of original
assert.deepStrictEqual(input, output);

// applying deep updates...
output.bar.bat.hola = 'mundo';
output.bar.baz = 99;

// ...doesn't affect source!
console.log(
  JSON.stringify(input, null, 2)
);
// {
//   "foo": 1,
//   "bar": {
//     "baz": 2,
//     "bat": {
//       "hello": "world"
//     }
//   }
// }

API

klona(input)

Returns: typeof input

Returns a deep copy/clone of the input.

Benchmarks

Running Node v12.18.3

The benchmarks can be found in the /bench directory. They are separated into multiple categories:

• JSON – compares an array of objects comprised of JSON data types (String, Number, null, Array, Object)
• LITE – like JSON, but adds RegExp, Date and undefined values
• DEFAULT – object with RegExp, Date, Array, Map, Set, custom class, Int8Array, DataView, Buffer values
• FULL – like DEFAULT, but adds Symbol and non-enumerable properties

Important: Only candidates that pass validation step(s) are listed.
However, lodash and clone are kept to highlight important differences.

Note: The clone/include candidate refers to its includeNonEnumerable option enabled.
