Go to Source

Heya, I tried before to write this but seems like I wasn't subscribed. Now
seems like I subscribed so posting it again...

So here we go,

I am posting this after an aftermath of a Github Issue. See =>
https://github.com/tc39/proposals/issues/150

I would like the JavaScript (ECMAScript) Spec to include built-in
`deepCopy/deepClone` feature.

Please note that based on the response at Github Issue and also considering
that the top 3 npm packages for cloning have over 100k weekly downloads I
am very positive on this and should be really considered.

I think we have two approaches to consider for same

1. Object Oriented approach

```js
// Object.prototype.deepCopy(), Array.prototype.deepCopy(), etc

const harry = {
  name: 'Harry Manchanda',
  age: 25,
  social: [
    {
      website: 'twitter',
      username: '@harmanmanchanda',
    },
    {
      website: 'facebook',
      username: 'IamManchanda',
    },
  ],
};

const dev = harry.deepCopy();
dev.social[1].website = 'github';
```

2. Functional Programming approach

```js
// Object.deepCopy(value)
// Value expects array, objects and primitives

const harry = {
  name: 'Harry Manchanda',
  age: 25,
  social: [
    {
      website: 'twitter',
      username: '@harmanmanchanda',
    },
    {
      website: 'facebook',
      username: 'IamManchanda',
    },
  ],
};

const dev = Object.deepCopy(harry);
dev.social[1].website = 'github';
```


Reason why I think so strongly that everyone in javascript community needs
this is this
